BACKGROUND

This invention relates to the field of antibacterial treatments and to targets for antibacterial agents. In particular, it relates to genes essential for survival of a bacterial strain in vitro or in vivo.

The following background information is not admitted to be prior art to the pending claims, but is provided only to aid the understanding of the reader.

Despite the development of numerous antibacterial agents, bacterial infections continue as a major, and currently increasing, medical problem. Prior to the 1980s, bacterial infections in developed countries could be readily treated with available antibiotics. However, during the 1980s and 1990s, antibiotic resistant bacterial strains emerged and have become a major therapeutic problem. There are, in fact, strains resistant to essentially all of the commonly used antibacterial agents, which have been observed in the clinical setting, notably including strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The consequences of the increase in resistant strains include higher morbidity and mortality, longer patient hospitalization, and an increase in treatment costs. (B. Murray, 1994, New Engl. J. Med. 330:1229-1230.) Therefore, there is a pressing need for the development of new antibacterial agents which are not significantly affected by the existing bacterial resistance mechanisms.

Such development of new antibacterial agents can proceed by a variety of methods, but generally fall into at least two categories. The first is the traditional approach of screening for antibacterial agents without concern for the specific target.

The second approach involves the identification of new targets, and the subsequent screening of compounds to find antibacterial agents affecting those targets. Such screening can involve any of a variety of methods, including screening for inhibitors of the expression of a gene, or of the product of a gene, or of a pathway requiring that product. However, generally the actual target is a protein, the inhibition of which prevents the growth or pathogenesis of the bacterium. Such protein targets can be identified by identifying genes encoding proteins essential for bacterial growth.

SUMMARY

Each pathogenic bacterial species expresses a number of different genes which are essential for growth of the bacteria in vitro or in vivo in an infection, and which are useful targets for antibacterial agents. This invention provides an approach to the identification of those genes, and the use of those genes, and bacterial strains expressing mutant forms of those genes, in the identification, characterization, and evaluation of targets of antibacterial agents. It further provides the use of those genes and mutant strains in screening for antibacterial agents active against the genes, including against the corresponding products and pathways. Such active compounds can be developed into antibacterial agents. Thus, this invention also provides methods of treating bacterial infections in mammals by administering an antibacterial agent active against such a gene, and the pharmaceutical compositions effective for such treatment.

For the Staphylococcus aureus essential genes identified in this invention, the essential nature of the genes was determined by the isolation of growth conditional mutants of Staphylococcus aureus, in this case temperature sensitive mutants (ts mutants). Each gene was then identified by isolating recombinant bacteria derived from the growth conditional mutant strains, which would grow under non-permissive conditions but which were not revertants. These recombinant bacteria contained DNA inserts derived from the normal (i.e., wild-type) S. aureus chromosome which encoded non-mutant products which replaced the function of the products of the mutated genes. The fact that a clone having such a recombinant insert can complement the mutant gene product under non-permissive conditions implies that the insert contains essentially a complete gene, since it produces functional product.

The Staphylococcal genes described herein have either been completely sequenced or have been partially sequenced in a manner which essentially provides the complete gene by uniquely identifying the coding sequence in question, and providing sufficient guidance to obtain the complete sequence and equivalent clones. For example, in some cases, sequences have been provided which can be used to construct PCR primers for amplification of the gene from a genomic sequence or from a cloning vector, e.g., a plasmid. The primers can be transcribed from DNA templates, or preferably synthesized by standard techniques. The PCR process using such primers provides specific amplification of the corresponding gene. Therefore, the complete gene sequence is obtainable by using the sequences provided.

In a first aspect, this invention provides a method of treating a bacterial infection in a mammal by administering a compound which is active against a bacterial gene selected from the group of genes corresponding to SEQ ID NO. 1-105. Each of these genes has been identified as an essential gene by the isolation of growth conditional mutant strains, and the complementation in recombinant strains of each of the mutated genes under non-permissive conditions, by expression from artificially-inserted DNA sequences carrying genes identified by the specified sequences of SEQ ID NO. 1-105. In particular embodiments of this method, the infection involves a bacterial strain expressing a gene corresponding to one of the specified sequences, or a homologous gene. Such homologous genes provide equivalent biological function in other bacterial species. Also in a preferred embodiment, the compound has a structure described by the general structure below:

in which

R, R¹, R², and R³ are independently H, alkyl (C₁-C₅), or halogen;

R⁴ is H, alkyl (C₁-C₅) halogen, SH, or S-alkyl (C₁-C₃);

R⁵ is H, alkyl (C¹-C⁵), or aryl (C₆-C₁₀);

R⁶ is CH2NH2, alkyl (C1-C4), 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, 2-furyl, 3-furyl, 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, or aryl (C₆-C₁₀);

or

R⁵ and R⁶ together are —C(R⁷)═C(R⁸)—C(R⁹)═C(R¹⁰)—, —N═C(R⁸)—C(R⁹)═C(R¹⁰)—, —C(R⁷)═N—C(R⁹)═C(R¹⁰)—, —C(R⁷)═C(R⁸)—N═C(R¹⁰)—, or —C(R⁷)═C(R⁸)—C(R⁹)═N—;

in which

R⁷, R⁸, R⁹, and R¹⁰ are independently H, alkyl (C₁-C₅), halogen, fluoroalkyl (C₁-C₅);

or

R⁷ and R⁸ together are —CH═CH—CH═CH—.

The term “alkyl” refers to a branched or unbranched aliphatic hydrocarbon group, e.g., methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, and tert-butyl. Preferably the group includes from 1 to 5 carbon atoms and is unsubstituted, but alternativly may optionally be substituted with functional groups which are commonly attached to such chains, e.g., hydroxyl, fluoro, chloro, aryl, nitro, amino, amido, and the like.

The term “halogen” refers to a substituent which is fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. Preferably the substituent is fluorine.

The term “pyridyl” refers to a group from pyridine, generally having the formula C₅H₄N, forming a heterocyclic ring, which may optionally be substituted with groups commonly attached to such rings.

The term furyl refers to a heterocyclic group, having the formula C₄H₃O, which may be either the alpha or beta isomer. The ring may optionally be substituted with groups commonly attached to such rings.

The term “thienyl refers to a group from thiophen, generally having a formula C₄H₃S.

The term “aryl” refers to an aromatic hydrocarbon group which includes a ring structure in which the electrons are delocalized. Commonly, aryl groups contain a derivative of the benzene ring. The ring may optionally be substitued with groups commonly attached to aromatic rings, e.g., OH, CH₃, and the like.

The term “fluoroalkyl” refers to an alkyl group, as described above, which one or more hydrogens are substituted with fluorine.

“Treating”, in this context, refers to administering a pharmaceutical composition for prophylactic and/or therapeutic purposes. The term “prophylactic treatment” refers to treating a patient who is not yet infected, but who is susceptible to, or otherwise at risk, of a particular infection. The term “therapeutic treatment” refers to administering treatment to a patient already suffering from an infection

The term “bacterial infection” refers to the invasion of the host mammal by pathogenic bacteria. This includes the excessive growth of bacteria which are normally present in or on the body of a mammal. More generally, a bacterial infection can be any situation in which the presence of a bacterial population(s) is damaging to a host mammal. Thus, a mammal is “suffering” from a bacterial infection when excessive numbers of a bacterial population are present in or on a mammal's body, or when the effects of the presence of a bacterial population(s) is damaging the cells or other tissue of a mammal.

In the context of this disclosure, “bacterial gene” should be understood to refer to a unit of bacterial heredity as found in the chromosome of each bacterium. Each gene is composed of a linear chain of deoxyribonucleotides which can be referred to by the sequence of nucleotides forming the chain. Thus, “sequence” is used to indicate both the ordered listing of the nucleotides which form the chain, and the chain, itself, which has that sequence of nucleotides. (“Sequence” is used in the same way in referring to RNA chains, linear chains made of ribonucleotides.) The gene includes regulatory and control sequences, sequences which can be transcribed into an RNA molecule, and may contain sequences with unknown function. The majority of the RNA transcription products are messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which include sequences which are translated into polypeptides and may include sequences which are not translated. It should be recognized that small differences in nucleotide sequence for the same gene can exist between different bacterial strains, or even within a particular bacterial strain, without altering the identity of the gene.

Thus, “expressed bacterial gene” means that, in a bacterial cell of interest, the gene is transcribed to form RNA molecules. For those genes which are transcribed into mRNAs, the mRNA is translated to form polypeptides. More generally, in this context, “expressed” means that a gene product is formed at the biological level which would normally have the relevant biological activity (i.e., RNA or polypeptide level).

As used herein in referring to the relationship between a specified nucleotide sequence and a gene, the term “corresponds” or “corresponding” indicates that the specified sequence identifies the gene. Therefore, a sequence which will uniquely hybridize with a gene from the relevant bacterium corresponds to that gene (and the converse). In general, for this invention, the specified sequences have the same sequence (a low level of sequencing error or individual variation does not matter) as portions of the gene or flanking sequences. Similarly, correspondence is shown by a transcriptional, or reverse transcriptional relationship. Many genes can be transcribed to form mRNA molecules. Therefore, there is a correspondence between the entire DNA sequence of the gene and the MRNA which is, or might be, transcribed from that gene; the correspondence is also present for the reverse relationship, the messenger RNA corresponds with the DNA of the gene. This correspondence is not limited to the relationship between the full sequence of the gene and the full sequence of the mRNA, rather it also exists between a portion or portions of the DNA sequence of the gene and a portion or portions of the RNA sequence of the mRNA. Specifically it should be noted that this correspondence is present between a portion or portions of an mRNA which is not normally translated into polypeptide and all or a portion of the DNA sequence of the gene.

Similarly, the DNA sequence of a gene or the RNA sequence of an mRNA “corresponds” to the polypeptide encoded by that gene and mRNA. This correspondence between the mRNA and the polypeptide is established through the translational relationship; the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is translated into the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide. Then, due to the transcription relationship between the DNA of the gene and the mRNA, there is a “correspondence” between the DNA and the polypeptide.

The term “administration” or “administering” refers to a method of giving a dosage of an antibacterial pharmaceutical composition to a mammal, where the method is, e.g., topical, oral, intravenous, transdermal, intraperitoneal, or intramuscular. The preferred method of administration can vary depending on various factors, e.g., the components of the pharmaceutical composition, the site of the potential or actual bacterial infection, the bacterium involved, and the severity of an actual bacterial infection.

The term “active against” in the context of compounds, agents, or compositions having antibacterial activity indicates that the compound exerts an effect on a particular bacterial target or targets which is deleterious to the in vitro and/or in vivo growth of a bacterium having that target or targets. In particular, a compound active against a bacterial gene exerts an action on a target which affects an expression product of that gene. This does not necessarily mean that the compound acts directly on the expression product of the gene, but instead indicates that the compound affects the expression product in a deleterious manner. Thus, the direct target of the compound may be, for example, at an upstream component which reduces transcription from the gene, resulting in a lower level of expression. Likewise, the compound may affect the level of translation of a polypeptide expression product, or may act on a downstream component of a biochemical pathway in which the expression product of the gene has a major biological role. Consequently, such a compound can be said to be active against the bacterial gene, against the bacterial gene product, or against the related component either upstream or downstream of that gene or expression product. While the term “active against” encompasses a broad range of potential activities, it also implies some degree of specificity of target. Therefore, for example, a general protease is not “active against” a particular bacterial gene which produces a polypeptide product. In contrast, a compound which inhibits a particular enzyme is active against that enzyme and against the bacterial gene which codes for that enzyme.

The term “mammal” refers to any organism of the Class Mammalia of higher vertebrates that. nourish their young with milk secreted by mammary glands, e.g., mouse, rat, and, in particular, human, dog, and cat.

By “comprising” it is meant including, but not limited to, whatever follows the word “comprising”. Thus, use of the term “comprising” indicates that the listed elements are required or mandatory, but that other elements are optional and may or may not be present. By “consisting of” is meant including, and limited to, whatever follows the phrase “consisting of”. Thus, the phrase “consisting of” indicates that the listed elements are required or mandatory, and that no other elements may be present. By “consisting essentially of” is meant including any elements listed after the phrase, and limited to other elements that do not interfere with or contribute to the activity or action specified in the disclosure for the listed elements. Thus, the phrase “consisting essentially of” indicates that the listed elements are required or mandatory, but that other elements are optional and may or may not be present depending upon whether or not they affect the activity or action of the listed elements.

A DNA containing a specific bacterial gene is obtainable using a shorter, unique probe(s) with readily available molecular biology techniques. If the method for obtaining such gene is properly performed, it is virtually is certain that a longer DNA sequence comprising the desired sequence (such as the full coding sequence or the full length gene sequence) will be obtained. Thus, “obtainable by” means that an isolation process will, with high probability (preferably at least 90%), produce a DNA sequence which includes the desired sequence. Thus, for example, a full coding sequence is obtainable by hybridizing the DNA of two PCR primers appropriately derived from the sequences of SEQ ID NO. 1-105 corresponding to a particular complementing clone to a Staphylococcus aureus chromosome, amplifying the sequence between the primers, and purifying the PCR products. The PCR products can then be used for sequencing the entire gene or for other manipulations. Those skilled in the art will understand the included steps, techniques, and conditions for such processes. However, the full coding sequence or full gene is clearly not limited to a specific process by which the sequence is obtainable. Such a process is only one method of producing the final product.

A “coding sequence” or “coding region” refers to an open reading frame (ORF) which has a base sequence which is normally transcribed in a cell (e.g., a bacterial cell) to form RNA, which in most cases is translated to form a polypeptide. For the genes for which the product is normally a polypeptide, the coding region is that portion which encodes the polypeptide, excluding the portions which encode control and regulatory sequences, such as stop codons and promoter sequences.

In a related aspect, the invention provides a method for treating a bacterial infection in a mammal by administering an amount of an antibacterial agent effective to reduce the infection. The antibacterial agent specifically inhibits a biochemical pathway requiring the expression product of a gene corresponding to one of the genes identified in the first aspect above. Inhibition of that pathway inhibits the growth of the bacteria in vivo. In particular embodiments, the antibacterial agent inhibits the expression product of one of the identified genes.

In the context of the coding sequences and genes of this invention, “homologous” refers to genes whose expression results in expression products which have a combination of amino acid sequence similarity (or base sequence similarity for transcript products) and functional equivalence, and are therefore homologous genes. In general such genes also have a high level of DNA sequence similarity (i.e., greater than 80% when such sequences are identified among members of the same genus, but lower when these similarities are noted across bacterial genera), but are not identical. Relationships across bacterial genera between homologous genes are more easily identified at the polypeptide (i.e., the gene product) rather than the DNA level. The combination of functional equivalence and sequence similarity means that if one gene is useful, e.g., as a target for an antibacterial agent, or for screening for such agents, then the homologous gene is likewise useful. In addition, identification of one such gene serves to identify a homologous gene through the same relationships as indicated above. Typically, such homologous genes are found in other bacterial species, especially, but not restricted to, closely related species. Due to the DNA sequence similarity, homologous genes are often identified by hybridizing with probes from the initially identified gene under hybridizing conditions which allow stable binding under appropriately stringent conditions (e.g., conditions which allow stable binding with approximately 85% sequence identity). The equivalent function of the product is then verified using appropriate biological and/or biochemical assays.

In this context, the term “biochemical pathway” refers to a connected series of biochemical reactions normally occurring in a cell, or more broadly a cellular event such as cellular division or DNA replication. Typically, the steps in such a biochemical pathway act in a coordinated fashion to produce a specific product or products or to produce some other particular biochemical action. Such a biochemical pathway requires the expression product of a gene if the absence of that expression product either directly or indirectly prevents the completion of one or more steps in that pathway, thereby preventing or significantly reducing the production of one or more normal products or effects of that pathway. Thus, an agent specifically inhibits such a biochemical pathway requiring the expression product of a particular gene if the presence of the agent stops or substantially reduces the completion of the series of steps in that pathway. Such an agent, may, but does not necessarily, act directly on the expression product of that particular gene.

The term “in vivo” in the context of a bacterial infection refers to the host infection environment, as distinguished, for example, from growth of the bacteria in an artificial culture medium (e.g., in vitro).

The term “antibacterial agent” refers to both naturally occurring antibiotics produced by microorganisms to suppress the growth of other microorganisms, and agents synthesized or modified in the laboratory which have either bactericidal or bacteriostatic activity, e.g., β-lactam antibacterial agents, glycopeptides, macrolides, quinolones, tetracyclines, and aminoglycosides. In general, if an antibacterial agent is bacteriostatic, it means that the agent essentially stops bacterial cell growth (but does not kill the bacteria); if the agent is bacteriocidal, it means that the agent kills the bacterial cells (and may stop growth before killing the bacteria).

The term, “bacterial gene product” or “expression product” is used to refer to a polypeptide or RNA molecule which is encoded in a DNA sequence according to the usual transcription and translation rules, which is normally expressed by a bacterium. Thus, the term does not refer to the translation of a DNA sequence which is not normally translated in a bacterial cell. However, it should be understood that the term does include the translation product of a portion of a complete coding sequence and the translation product of a sequence which combines a sequence which is normally translated in bacterial cells translationally linked with another DNA sequence. The gene product can be derived from chromosomal or extrachromosomal DNA, or even produced in an in vitro reaction. Thus, as used herein, an “expression product” is a product with a relevant biological activity resulting from the transcription, and usually also translation, of a bacterial gene.

In another related aspect, the invention provides a method of inhibiting the growth of a pathogenic bacterium by contacting the bacterium with an antibacterial agent which specifically inhibits a biochemical pathway requiring the expression product of a gene selected from the group of genes corresponding to SEQ ID NO. 1-105 or a homologous gene. Inhibition of that pathway inhibits growth of the bacterium. In particular embodiments, the antibacterial agent inhibits the expression product of one of the identified genes. Also in preferred embodiment, the antibacterial agent is a compound having a structure as described in the first aspect above.

The term “inhibiting the growth” indicates that the rate of increase in the numbers of a population of a particular bacterium is reduced. Thus, the term includes situations in which the bacterial population increases but at a reduced rate, as well as situations where the growth of the population is stopped, as well as situations where the numbers of the bacteria in the population are reduced or the population even eliminated.

A “pathogenic bacterium” includes any bacterium capable of infecting and damaging a mammalian host, and, in particular, includes Staphylococcus aureus. Thus, the term includes both virulent pathogens which, for example, can cause disease in a previously healthy host, and opportunistic pathogens which can only cause disease in a weakened or otherwise compromised host.

Similarly, the invention provides a method of prophylactic treatment of a mammal by administering a compound active against a gene selected from the group of genes corresponding to SEQ ID NO. 1-105 to a mammal at risk of a bacterial infection.

A mammal may be at risk of a bacterial infection, for example, if the mammal is more susceptible to infection or if the mammal is in an environment in which infection by one or more bacteria is more likely than in a normal setting. Therefore, such treatment can, for example, be appropriate for an immuno-compromised patient.

Also provided is a method of screening for an antibacterial agent by determining whether a test compound is active against one of the genes identified in the first aspect. In a particular embodiment the method is performed by providing a bacterial strain having a mutant form of a gene selected from the group of genes corresponding to SEQ. ID. NOS. 1-105 or a mutant gene homologous to one of those genes. The mutant form of the gene confers a growth conditional phenotype, e.g., a temperature-sensitive phenotype, on the bacterial strain having that mutant form. A comparison bacterial strain having a normal form of the gene is also provided and the two strains of bacteria are separately contacted with a test compound under semi-permissive growth conditions. The growth of the two strains in the presence of the test compound is then compared; a reduction in the growth of the bacterial strain having the mutant form compared to the growth of the bacterial strain having the normal form of the gene indicates that the test compound is active against the particular gene.

In this context, a “mutant form” of a gene is a gene which has been altered, either naturally or artificially, changing the base sequence of the gene, which results in a change in the amino acid sequence of an encoded polypeptide. The change in the base sequence may be of several different types, including changes of one or more bases for different bases, small deletions, and small insertions. By contrast, a normal form of a gene is a form commonly found in a natural population of a bacterial strain. Commonly a single form of a gene will predominate in natural populations. In general, such a gene is suitable as a normal form of a gene, however, other forms which provide similar functional characteristics may also be used as a normal gene. In particular, a normal form of a gene does not confer a growth conditional phenotype on the bacterial strain having that gene, while a mutant form of a gene suitable for use in these methods does provide such a growth conditional phenotype.

As used in this disclosure, the term “growth conditional phenotype” indicates that a bacterial strain having such a phenotype exhibits a significantly greater difference in growth rates in response to a change in one or more of the culture parameters than an otherwise similar strain not having a growth conditional phenotype. Typically, a growth conditional phenotype is described with respect to a single growth culture parameter, such as temperature. Thus, a temperature (or heat-sensitive) mutant (i.e., a bacterial strain having a heat-sensitive phenotype) exhibits significantly reduced growth, and preferably no growth, under non-permissive temperature conditions as compared to growth under permissive conditions. In addition, such mutants preferably also show intermediate growth rates at intermediate, or semi-permissive, temperatures. Similar responses also result from the appropriate growth changes for other types of growth conditional phenotypes.

Thus, “semi-permissive conditions” are conditions in which the relevant culture parameter for a particular growth conditional phenotype is intermediate between permissive conditions and non-permissive conditions. Consequently, in semi-permissive conditions the bacteria having a growth conditional phenotype will exhibit growth rates intermediate between those shown in permissive conditions and non-permissive conditions. In general, such intermediate growth rate is due to a mutant cellular component which is partially functional under semi-permissive conditions, essentially fully functional under permissive conditions, and is non-functional or has very low function under non-permissive conditions, where the level of function of that component is related to the growth rate of the bacteria.

The term “method of screening” means that the method is suitable, and is typically used, for testing for a particular property or effect in a large number of compounds. Therefore, the method requires only a small amount of time for each compound tested; typically more than one compound is tested simultaneously (as in a 96-well microtiter plate), and preferably significant portions of the procedure can be automated. “Method of screening” also refers to determining a set of different properties or effects of one compound simultaneously.

Since the essential genes identified herein can be readily isolated and the gene products expressed by routine methods, the invention also provides the polypeptides encoded by those genes. Thus, the invention provides a method of screening for an antibacterial agent by determining the effects of a test compound on the amount or level of activity of a polypeptide gene product of one of the identified essential genes. The method involves contacting cells expressing such a polypeptide with a test compound, and determining whether the test compound alters the amount or level of activity of the expression product. The exact determination method will be expected to vary depending on the characteristics of the expression product. Such methods can include, for example, antibody binding methods, enzymatic activity determinations, and substrate analog binding assays.

It is quite common in identifying antibacterial agents, to assay for binding of a compound to a particular polypeptide where binding is an indication of a compound which is active to modulate the activity of the polypeptide. Thus, by identifying certain essential genes, this invention provides a method of screening for an antibacterial agent by contacting a polypeptide encoded by one of the identified essential genes, or a biologically active fragment of such a polypeptide, with a test compound, and determining whether the test compound binds to the polypeptide or polypeptide fragment.

In addition, to simple binding determinations, the invention provides a method for identifying or evaluating an agent active on one of the identified essential genes. The method involves contacting a sample containing an expression product of one of the identified genes with the known or potential agent, and determining the amount or level of activity of the expression product in the sample.

In a further aspect, this invention provides a method of diagnosing the presence of a bacterial strain having one of the genes identified above, by probing with an oligonucleotide at least 15 nucleotides in length, which specifically hybridizes to a nucleotide sequence which is the same as or complementary to the sequence of one of the bacterial genes identified above. In some cases, it is practical to detect the presence of a particular bacterial strain by direct hybridization of a labeled oligonucleotide to the particular gene. In other cases, it is preferable to first amplify the gene or a portion of the gene before hybridizing labeled oligonucleotides to those amplified copies.

In a related aspect, this invention provides a method of diagnosing the presence of a bacterial strain by specifically detecting the presence of the transcriptional or translational product of the gene. Typically, a transcriptional (RNA) product is detected by hybridizing a labeled RNA or DNA probe to the transcript. Detection of a specific translational (protein) product can be performed by a variety of different tests depending on the specific protein product. Examples would be binding of the product by specific labeled antibodies and, in some cases, detection of a specific reaction involving the protein product.

As used above and throughout this application, “hybridize” has its usual meaning from molecular biology. It refers to the formation of a base-paired interaction between nucleotide polymers. The presence of base pairing implies that at least an appreciable fraction of the nucleotides in each of two nucleotide sequences are complementary to the other according to the usual base pairing rules. The exact fraction of the nucleotides which must be complementary in order to obtain stable hybridization will vary with a number of factors, including nucleotide sequence, salt concentration of the solution, temperature, and pH.

The term, “DNA molecule”, should be understood to refer to a linear polymer of deoxyribonucleotides, as well as to the linear polymer, base-paired with its complementary strand, forming double-strand DNA (dsDNA). The term is used as equivalent to “DNA chain” or “a DNA” or “DNA polymer” or “DNA sequence”:, so this description of the term meaning applies to those terms also. The term does not necessarily imply that the specified “DNA molecule” is a discrete entity with no bonding with other entities. The specified DNA molecule may have H-bonding interactions with other DNA molecules, as well as a variety of interactions with other molecules, including RNA molecules. In addition, the specified DNA molecule may be covalently linked in a longer DNA chain at one, or both ends. Any such DNA molecule can be identified in a variety of ways, including, by its particular nucleotide sequence, by its ability to base pair under stringent conditions with another DNA or RNA molecule having a specified sequence, or by a method of isolation which includes hybridization under stringent conditions with another DNA or RNA molecule having a specified sequence.

References to a “portion” of a DNA or RNA chain mean a linear chain which has a nucleotide sequence which is the same as a sequential subset of the sequence of the chain to which the portion refers. Such a subset may contain all of the sequence of the primary chain or may contain only a shorter sequence. The subset will contain at least 15 bases in a single strand.

However, by “same” is meant “substantially the same”; deletions, additions, or substitutions of specific nucleotides of the sequence, or a combination of these changes, which affect a small percentage of the full sequence will still leave the sequences substantially the same. Preferably this percentage of change will be less than 20%, more preferably less than 10%, and even more preferably less than 3%. “Same” is therefore distinguished from “identical”; for identical sequences there cannot be any difference in nucleotide sequences.

As used in reference to nucleotide sequences, “complementary” has its usual meaning from molecular biology. Two nucleotide sequences or strands are complementary if they have sequences which would allow base pairing between the strands according to the usual pairing rules. This does not require that the strands would necessarily base pair at every nucleotide; two sequences can still be complementary with a low level of base mismatch such as that created by deletion, addition, or substitution of one or a few (up to 5 in a linear chain of 25 bases) nucleotides, or a combination of such changes.

Further, in another aspect, this invention provides a pharmaceutical composition appropriate for use in the methods of treating bacterial infections described above, containing a compound active on a bacterial gene selected from the group of genes described above and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In a preferred embodiment, the compound has a structure as described in the first aspect above. Also, in a related aspect the invention provides a novel compound having antibacterial activity against one of the bacterial genes described above.

In a further related aspect a method of making an antibacterial agent is provided. The method involves screening for an agent active on one of the identified essential genes by providing a bacterial strain having a mutant form of one of the genes corresponding to SEQ ID NO. 1-105, or a homologous gene. As described above, the mutant form of the gene confers a growth conditional phenotype. A comparison bacterial strain is provided which has a normal form of said gene. The bacterial strains are contacted with a test compound in semi-permissive growth conditions, and the growth of the strains are compared to identify an antibacterial agent. The identified agent is synthesized in an amount sufficient to provide the agent in a therapeutically effective amount to a patient.

A “carrier” or “excipient” is a compound or material used to facilitate administration of the compound, for example, to increase the solubility of the compound. Solid carriers include, e.g., starch, lactose, dicalcium phosphate, sucrose, and kaolin. Liquid carriers include, e.g., sterile water, saline, buffers, non-ionic surfactants, and edible oils such as peanut and sesame oils. In addition, various adjuvants such as are commonly used in the art may be included. These and other such compounds are described in the literature, e.g., in the Merck Index, Merck & Company, Rahway, N.J. Considerations for the inclusion of various components in pharmaceutical compositions are described, e.g., in Gilman et al. (Eds.) (1990); Goodman and Gilman's: The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th Ed., Pergamon Press.

Consistent with the usage of “anti-bacterial agent” herein, the term “anti-bacterial activity” indicates that the presence of a particular compound in the growth environment of a bacterial population reduces the growth rate of that population, without being a broad cellular toxin for other categories of cells.

As is described below in the Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments, bacterial strains expressing a mutated form of one of the above identified genes, which confers a growth conditional phenotype, are useful for evaluating and characterizing the gene as an antibacterial target and for screening for antibacterial agents. Therefore, this invention also provides a purified bacterial strain expressing a mutated gene which is a mutated form of one of the bacterial genes identified above, where the mutated gene confers a growth conditional phenotype.

Similarly, this invention provides a recombinant bacterial cell containing an artificially inserted DNA construct which contains a DNA sequence which is the same as or complementary to one of the above-identified bacterial genes or a portion of one of those genes. Such cells are useful, for example, as sources of probe sequences or for providing a complementation standard for use in screening methods.

The term “recombinant bacterial cell” has its usual molecular biological meaning. The term refers to a microbe into which has been inserted, through the actions of a person, a DNA sequence or construct which was not previously found in that cell, or which has been inserted at a different location within the cell, or at a different location in the chromosome of that cell. Such a term does not include natural genetic exchange, such as conjugation between naturally occurring organisms. Thus, for example, recombinant bacterium could have a DNA sequence inserted which was obtained from a different bacterial species, or may contain an inserted DNA sequence which is an altered form of a sequence normally found in that bacteria.

As described above, the presence of a specific bacterial strain can be identified using oligonucleotide probes. Therefore this invention also provides such oligonucleotide probes at least 15 nucleotides in length, which specifically hybridize to a nucleotide sequence which is the same as or complementary to a portion of one of the bacterial chains identified above.

In a related aspect this invention provides an isolated or purified DNA sequence at least 15 nucleotides in length, which has a nucleotide base sequence which is the same as or complementary to a portion of one of the above-identified bacterial genes. In particular embodiments, the DNA sequence is the same as or complementary to the base sequence of the entire coding region of one of the above-identified bacterial genes. Such an embodiment may in addition contain the control and regulatory sequence associated with the coding sequence.

Use of the term “isolated” indicates that a naturally occurring material or organism (e.g., a DNA sequence) has been removed from its normal environment. Thus, an isolated DNA sequence has been removed from its usual cellular environment, and may, for example, be in a cell-free solution or placed in a different cellular environment. For a molecule, such as a DNA sequence, the term does not imply that the molecule (sequence) is the only molecule of that type present.

It is also advantageous for some purposes that an organism or molecule (e.g., a nucleotide sequence) be in purified form. The term “purified” does not require absolute purity; instead, it indicates that the sequence, organism, or molecule is relatively purer than in the natural environment. Thus, the claimed DNA could not be obtained directly from total human DNA or from total human RNA. The claimed DNA sequences are not naturally occurring, but rather are obtained via manipulation of a partially purified naturally occurring substance (genomic DNA clones). The construction of a genomic library from chromosomal DNA involves the creation of vectors with genomic DNA inserts and pure individual clones carrying such vectors can be isolated from the library by clonal selection of the cells carrying the library.

In a further aspect, this invention provides an isolated or purified DNA sequence which is the same as or complementary to a bacterial gene homologous to one of the above-identified bacterial genes where the function of the expression product of the homologous gene is the same as the function of the product of one of the above-identified genes. In general, such a homologous gene will have a high level of nucleotide sequence similarity and, in addition, a protein product of homologous gene will have a significant level of amino acid sequence similarity. However, in addition, the product of the homologous gene has the same biological function as the product of the corresponding gene identified above.

Similarly, the invention provides an isolated or purified DNA sequence which has a base sequence which is the same as the base sequence of a mutated bacterial gene selected from one of the genes identified in the first aspect where the expression of this DNA sequence or the mutated bacterial gene confers a growth conditional phenotype in the absence of expression of a gene which complements that mutation. Such an isolated or purified DNA sequence can have the base sequence which varies slightly from the base sequence of the original mutated gene but must contain a base sequence change or changes which are functionally equivalent to the base sequence change or changes in the mutated gene. In most cases, this will mean that the DNA sequence has the identical bases at the site of the mutation as the mutated gene.

As indicated above, by providing the identified essential genes, the encoded expression products are also provided. Thus, another aspect concerns a purified, enriched, or isolated polypeptide, which is encoded by one of the identified essential genes. Such a polypeptide may include the entire gene product or only a portion or fragment of the encoded product. Such fragments are preferably biologically active fragments which retain one or more of the relevant biological activities of the full size gene product.

Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description of the referred embodiments, and from the claims.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS I. General Approach for Identification of Target Genes

As was briefly described in the Summary above, this invention concerns essential genes in Staphylococcus aureus. This organism is a serious pathogen which frequently carries resistance to a variety of existing antibiotic agents. Such resistant strains of S. aureus are a particular problem in settings where antibacterial agents are intensively used, such as in hospitals. To overcome the therapeutic difficulties posed by the existing resistant strains, it is highly desirable that new classes of antibiotic drugs be found, particularly ones which are active against new bacterial targets. While such bacterial targets are usually (though not always) proteins, the targets can be identified by first identifying the bacterial genes which encode proteins (or RNA transcripts) that are essential for growth of the bacteria.

Identification of these genes which are essential for growth of the bacteria was accomplished by isolating conditional lethal mutant strains. Such mutant strains will grow under permissive conditions, but will not grow, or grow very poorly under non-permissive conditions. For the bacterial genes described herein, temperature sensitive mutants provided the growth conditional phenotype. The particular gene in each strain which was mutated to confer a growth conditional phenotype was then identified by isolating recombinant derivatives of the mutant strains. These recombinant strains each contained a DNA insert which, when expressed, would complement the defective gene and thus would allow growth under non-permissive conditions. These DNA inserts were provided by a genomic library of a normal S. aureus chromosome. The ability of the DNA insert in the recombinant strain to complement the defective product of the mutated gene showed that the DNA insert contained essentially a complete gene corresponding to a particular mutated gene. The vectors carrying each of these DNA inserts were constructed such that the S. aureus chromosomal insert could be amplified by PCR using flanking primer sequences. Each of the amplified S. aureus inserts was then partially sequenced, in general from both the 5′ and 3′ ends. This sequencing was, in general, single pass sequencing and, thus, the specified sequences may contain a low level of sequence errors compared to the actual gene sequence. Since the partial sequences at the 5′ and 3′ ends bracket the complete gene, such partial sequences uniquely identify and provide that complete gene without interference from a low level of sequencing error. The complete gene and gene sequence can be reliably obtained by any of several different methods. For example, probes can be constructed based on the partial sequences provided, which can be used to probe genomic or cDNA libraries of S. aureus. Clones containing the corresponding 5′ and 3′ sequences can then be further characterized and sequenced to provide the complete gene. In another approach, the partial 5′ and 3′ sequences can be used to construct PCR primer sequences which can be used to amplify the sequence between those primers and likewise provide the complete gene. In yet another approach, equivalent growth conditional mutant strains can be obtained by following the same or a similar process of mutagenizing the base S. aureus strain, and then likewise obtaining the complete gene by isolating complementing clones which correspond to the sequences provided, from a genomic or cDNA library. It should again be noted that, for any of these approaches, a low level of sequencing error in the sequence presented herein does not matter, since the stringency of the hybridizing conditions can be readily adjusted to provide the appropriately specific binding. While the genes identified in this invention are highly useful as targets for novel antibacterial therapy, the genes and parts of those genes are also useful to provide probes which can be used to identify the presence of a particular bacteria carrying a particular gene. In addition, the growth conditional mutant strains described above are also useful as tools in methods for screening for antibacterial agents which target that gene (targeting the corresponding normal gene). The methods involved in the identification of the mutant strains complementing recombinant clones and the particular genes are described in more detail below.

A. Bacterial Strain Selection

The growth conditional mutant strains and recombinant strains herein are based on S. aureus strain 8325-4. This strain has been the subject of substantial genetic characterization and is appropriate for use in the approach described herein. It is believed to be free of transposons, phage or extrachromosomal elements. Numerous other strains of S. aureus can likewise be used. However, it is advantageous to select a strain which has few, or preferably no, transposons or extrachromosomal elements, as such elements can complicate the genetic analysis.

B. Isolation of Conditional Lethal Mutants (General)

Heat-sensitive mutants were obtained after diethyl sulfate (DES; SIGMA Chemical) mutagenesis of strain 8325-4. Briefly, single colonies were inoculated into LB broth in individual wells of a 96-well microtiter plate and grown overnight (35° C., 18 h). Culture supernatants (10 μl) were diluted into λ-dilution buffer (λdil; 500 μl) and then treated with DES (5 μl). After a short incubation period (20 min at 37° C.), the treated cultures were serially diluted with λdil into microtiter plates. After an additional incubation period (8-12 h. at 37° C.), appropriate dilutions (50 μl each of 10 E-2 and 10 E-3) were plated onto TS agar plates and incubated overnight (30° C., 18 h). The plates were replica-printed onto two Tryptic-soy (TS) plates and incubated either at 30° C. or 43° C. (permissive and non-permissive conditions, respectively). Colonies growing at 30° C. but not at 43° C. were isolated and their ts phenotype was subsequently confirmed in a second round of plating. Only one ts mutant was picked from an original-singe-colony culture to assure that the mutants isolated were independent from each other. Independently-derived colonies with the appropriate phenotype are identified by direct screening on rich solid media at a permissive temperature (30° C.), as it obviates selection of mutants deficient in metabolic pathways, such as aromatic amino acid biosynthesis. No penicillin enrichment is employed, as it would counterselect mutant strains that are strongly bactericidal at the non-permissive temperature. A preliminary collection of 100 independent condition-lethal mutants and 71 non-independent mutants was made. This collection has been supplemented with additional condition-lethal mutants.

C. Creation of the S. aureus Shuttle Library

The S. aureus strain used for the preparation of genomic DNA for library construction as well as for the generation of conditional-lethal (temperature sensitive) mutants described in this document is a derivative of NCTC 8325, designated as 8325-4 (Novick, R. P., 1990). The 8325 parent strain is one of the better-characterized strains of S. aureus, with genetic and physical map data available in the current literature (Pattee, P. A., 1990). The 8325-4 derivative strain has all the chromosomal elements of the parent, with the exception of integrated (i.e., prophage and transposon DNA) and extrachromosomal (i.e., plasmid DNA) elements endogenous to the parent.

Cloning and subcloning experiments utilized the commercially-available E. coli strains JM109 (Promega) and DH5alpha (GIBCO-BRL). All enzymes cited (i.e., restriction endonucleases, ligases and phosphatases) were obtained commercially (NEB, Promega). All DNA cloning and manipulations are described in the current literature (Sambrook, et al., 1989). Parent plasmids pE194 and pUC19 have been described previously (Horinouchi, S. et al., 1982; Yanisch-Perron, C. et al., 1985) Recombinant constructs for use in a S. aureus host were first electroporated (Gene Pulser, BioRad) into S. aureus strain RN4220 (a restriction-deficient but methylase-proficient strain; Novick, R. P., 1990) before transduction into the target strain for complementation and cross-complementation analyses.

D. Library Construction

The shuttle plasmid vector used was pMP16, constructed by cloning the entire length of the natural S. aureus plasmid pE194 (linearized with Cla I) into the Nar I site of pUC19 (Yanisch-Perron et al., 1985). This new construct replicates and offers antibiotic resistance selections in both E. coli and S. aureus. It also provides blue-white screening to facilitate scoring of insert-containing clones. Carefully purified genomic DNA from S. aureus strain 8325-4 was partially digested (Sau3A I) and fragments of 2-8 kb were isolated by sucrose gradient centrifugation. DNA fragments isolated in this manner were then used for constructing two different libraries. In library A, the DNA fragments were directly cloned into pMP16, which had been linearized (Bam HI) and dephosphorylated (CIP). The DNA mixture was ligated (T4 DNA ligase) and transformed into E. coli DH5alpha. Library A thus constructed contains about 60,000 independent clones, 60% of which have inserts. In constructing library B, the ends of the Sau3A I fragments were partially filled with dGTP and dATP, ligated with linearized (Sal I) pMP16 that was partially filled with dCTP and dTTP, and transformed into E. coli. The advantage of partially filling the ends is that DNAs with the same ends can no longer ligate to each other; the majority of the ligation occurs between the vector and inserts, significantly increasing the percentage of insert-containing clones. In addition, the chance that two unrelated insert fragment are fortuitously ligated in the same clone is greatly reduced by using this strategy. Library B consists of 50,000 independent clones with >98% containing inserts. Both library A and library B contain at least a 50-fold representation of the S. aureus genome.

Clones from the two libraries were pooled and plasmid DNA extracted. The DNAs were used to transform S. aureus strain RN4220. About 100,000 erythromycin resistant transformants were pooled and infected with bacteriophage φ11 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.01 to generate phage lysates containing the shuttle library plasmids. The lysates were then used to introduce the shuttle plasmids into ts mutants by transduction to isolate complementing clones.

E. Isolation of Complementing Clones (General)

The lysate from library B was first chosen for transduction of the ts mutants because of its higher insert frequency. The ts mutants were grown either in TS broth or on TS agar plates overnight (18 h). The cells were resuspended in TS broth containing CaCl₂ (5 mM) to an OD₆₀₀ between 2-3. The lysate from library B (10-50 μl) was added to the resuspended cells (2 ml) and incubated at 30° C. with slow shaking (20 m). Ice-cold sodium citrate (20 mM; 1 ml) was added and the culture was centrifuged to pellet the cells. After removing the supernatant, the pellet was resuspended in ice-cold sodium citrate (20 mM; 500 μl). A small aliquot (about {fraction (1/5000)} of the total volume) was plated on a TSA-ery-citrate plate (TS agar containing 5 μg/ml erythromycin and 500 μg/ml sodium citrate) and incubated at 30° C. overnight (18 h). The total number of erythromycin-resistant transductants screened were estimated from this plate; at least 200,000 transductants were screened for each ts mutant to assure that the library population was well represented. The rest of the cells were plated onto the same selection media (3-5 plates), incubated at 30° C. for 5 h and then at 43° C. overnight (18 h). Individual colonies that appeared on the 43° C. plates were isolated and infected with φ11 to generate lysates.

The lysates prepared from these individual colonies were then used to transduce the same ts mutants as described above, using much smaller volumes of cells (0.1 ml) and lysates (1-3 μl) to facilitate testing of large number of lysates. Equal amounts of the transduced cultures were plated onto two sets of TSA-ery-citrate plates and incubated at either 30 or 43° C. Individual lysates that generated similar numbers of transductants at 30 and 43° C. were scored as complementing clones. Among the first 96 ts mutants studied, complementing clones were isolated for 60 (63%) of the mutants; 57 were from library B and 3 were from library A.

To test whether different ts mutants carry mutations in the same or closely linked genes, cross complementation was performed to evaluate the ability of positive clones of one ts mutant to complement another mutant. The results showed that, while some positive clones failed to complement any ts mutants other than their primary mutant, other clones were able to complement additional mutants. Taken together, the cross complementation studies identified 38 loci on the S. aureus chromosome, each consisting of at least one essential gene.

All the positive clones for the 60 ts mutants were twice streaked on TSA-ery-citrate plates and grown at 43° C. to eliminate φ11 prophage from the host cells. Plasmid DNA was extracted from these complementing clones and transformed into E. coli. The plasmids were prepared from the E. coli clones and used for restriction mapping and subcloning of the inserts.

F. Strategy for DNA Sequencing of Complementing Clones (General)

Complementing clones were subcloned into a sequencing vector (pGEM3Zf(+); Promega) containing regions of DNA flanking the multiple cloning site (T7 and SP6 primer annealing sites) to facilitate plasmid-based automated sequencing. Clones larger than 1.54 kB were cut with restriction endonucleases (BamHI, HindIII, EcoRI; NEB) and then subcloned into the same sequencing vector. DNA sequence ladders were generated by thermocycle sequencing procedures based upon the use of fluorescent-labeled primers (one of T7, SP6, M13 forward and M13 reverse; ABI), a thermostable DNA polymerase (AmpliTaq; Perkin Elmer/ABI) and dideoxy terminator chemistry (Sanger, et al, 1977, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 74:54463). Data were acquired on an ABI 373A automated DNA sequencer (ABI) and processed using the PRISM sequence analysis software (ABI). The nucleotide sequences disclosed herein represent the range of highest quality data acquired in one pass for each clone. All DNA sequence data are reported with the same directionality, 5′ to 3′, regardless of which strand (i.e., coding or anti-coding) is sequenced. Some DNA sequence is reported using standard IUB codes in cases where sequence ambiguities could not be absolutely resolved in first-pass sequence.

For the sequences identified herein as SEQ ID NO. 1-105, the sequences corresponding to each complementing clone identify and provide the coding sequence (gene) responsible for providing that complementation. Therefore, the sequences corresponding to each complementing clone correspond to a particular essential gene.

G. DNA Sequence Analysis of Complementing Clones Similarity Searching (General)

Sequence data were analyzed for similarity to existing publicly-available database entries both at the nucleic acid level and the (putative) polypeptide level; the current releases and daily cumulative updates of these databases are maintained at the NCBI and are freely accessible. The programs BLASTN (Altschul, et al., 1990, J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410) and FASTA (Pearson, et al., 1988, Proc. natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444-2448) were used to search the nucleic acid databases GenBank (Release 89.0) and EMBL (Rel. 43.0), while the programs BLASTX and TFASTA were used to search the protein databases SwissProt (Rel. 30.0), PIR (Rel. 45.0) and GenPept (Rel 89.0). For reporting the results of the similarity searching below,, the following abbreviations of bacterial species names are used:

H. DNA Sequence of Complementing Clones

Mutant NT 6—Clone pMP33: an Example of Complementing ORFs With Literature Precedent in Staph. aureus

The ORF complementing the heat-sensitive phenotype of S. aureus mutant NT6 described here was identified by sequencing subclones of pMP33, an E. coli/S. aureus shuttle vector containing a 2.3 kilobase-pair (kb) insert of parental (i.e. wild-type) genomic DNA. The subclones, pMP1006 (0.5 kb), pMP1007 (0.9 kb) and pMP 1008 (0.9 kb), were generated by EcoRI and HindIII digestion of the parent clone and ligation into pGEM3Zf(+), a commercially available vector (Promega, Inc.) suitable for double-stranded DNA sequencing applications.

PCR-based methods (PRISM Dye Primer DNA Sequencing Kit; ABI, Inc.) were employed to generate DNA sequence data from the SP6 promoter of each of the subclones. Electrophoresis and detection of fluorescently-labelled DNA sequence ladder on an ABI 373A automated DNA sequencer (ABI, Inc.) yielded the following sequence data:

A partial restriction map of clone pMP33 appears in FIG. 23, with open boxes to represent the percentage of the clone for which DNA sequence has been obtained in one pass.

Analysis of these data reveals identity (>90%, including sequence ambiguities in first-pass sequence) at both the nucleotide and (predicted) amino acid-level to the femA gene of S. aureus (Genbank ID M23918; published in Berger-Baechi, B. et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 219 (1989) 263-269). The nucleotide sequence identities to the Genbank entry indicate that complementing clone pMP33 contains the complete ORF encoding the FemA protein along with the necessary upstream elements for its expression in S. aureus. The figure demonstrates the relative positions of the subclones along with the location of the ORF encoding the FemA protein.

Mutant NT64/Clone pMP98: an Example of Complementing ORFs Without Direct Literature Precedent, but Identifiable by Similarity to Genes From Other Bacteria

The ORF(s) complementing the heat-sensitive phenotype of S. aureus mutant NT64 described here were identified by sequencing a subclone of pMP98, an E. coli/S. aureus shuttle vector containing a 2.9 kb insert of parental (i.e. wild-type) genomic DNA. The subclone, pMP1038, was generated by EcoRI and HindIII digestion of pMP98 and ligation into pGEM3Zf(+), a commercially available vector (Promega, Inc.) suitable for use in automated fluorescent sequencing applications. Using fluorescently-labelled dye primers (T7 and SP6; ABI, Inc.), a total of 914 bp of sequence from the two edges of the subclone was generated.

Similarity searches at the nucleotide and (putative) amino acid level reveal sequence identity from the left-most (T7) edge of the clone to the Genbank entry for pcrA, a putative helicase from S. aureus (Genbank ID M63176; published in Iordanescu, S. M. and Bargonetti, J. J. Bacteriol. 171 (1989) 4501-4503). The sequence identity reveals that the pMP98 clone contains a C-terminal portion of the ORF encoding pcrA, but that this ORF is unlikely to be responsible for complementation of the NT64 mutant. The Genbank entry extends 410 bp beyond the 3′ end of the pcrA gene, and does not predict any further ORFs. Similarity searches with data obtained from the right-most (SP6) edge reveal no significant similarities, indicating that the complementing ORF in pMP98 is likely to be unpublished for S. aureus. A partial restriction map of clone pMP98 appears in FIG. 20 (there are no apparent restriction sites for BamH I, EcoR I, or Hind III); the relative position and orientation of the identified (partial) ORF corresponding to the PcrA protein is indicated by an arrow:

From the preliminary sequence data, the following PCR primers were designed:

pMP98(+): 5′-CTG AAG AGG TGT TAT ATA TCA C-3′ SEQ ID NO.108 pMP98(−): 5′-GTG ATG GAT TAA GTC CTA AAT T-3′ SEQ ID NO.109

These primers were used to amplify the 2.9 kb genomic DNA fragment in one round of PCR amplification directly from S. aureus genomic DNA (parental strain 8325-4). Similar strategies using PCR primers designed from partial sequences can be used for amplifying the genomic sequence (or a cloned genomic sequence) corresponding to the additional complementing clones described below. Additional primers based upon the obtained sequence were designed to generate further DNA sequence data by primer-walking using the dye terminator strategy (PRISM DyeDeoxy Terminator Kit; ABI, Inc.).

From this data, a new ORF in the pMP98 clone was identified as having significant similarity to lig, the gene encoding DNA ligase from E. coli: (Genbank ID M30255; published in Ishino, Y., et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 204(1986),1-7). The revised clone map of pMP98, including the predicted size and orientation corresponding to the putative DNA ligase ORF, is shown in FIG. 41:

The DNA ligase protein from E. coli is composed of 671 amino acids; a polypeptide translated from S. aureus DNA sequence acquired above matches the C-terminal 82 amino acids of the E. coli DNA ligase with a 52% sequence identity and a 67% sequence similarity; this level of similarity is considered significant when comparing proteins from Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Since the predicted coding region of the S. aureus gene for DNA ligase is small enough to be contained within clone pMP98 and the gene for DNA ligase is known to be essential to survival for many bacterial species, NT64 is concluded to contain a ts mutation in the gene for DNA ligase.

Mutant NT42/Clone pMP76: an Example of Complementing ORFs With Unknown Function

The ORF(s) complementing the temperature-sensitive phenotype of S. aureus mutant NT42 described here was identified by sequencing subclones of pMP0076, an E. coli/S. aureus shuttle vector containing a 2.5 kb insert of parental (i.e. wild-type) genomic DNA. The subclones, pMP1026 (1.1 kb) and pMP1027 (1.3 kb), were generated by EcoRI and BamHI digestion of the parent clone and ligation into pGEM3Zf(+), a commercially available vector (Promega, Inc.) suitable for double-stranded DNA sequencing applications.

PCR-based methods (PRISM Dye Primer DNA Sequencing Kit; ABI, Inc.) were employed to generate DNA sequence data from the SP6 and T7 promoters of both of the subclones. Primer walking strategies were used to complete the sequence contig. Electrophoresis and detection of fluorescently-labelled DNA sequence ladder on an ABI 373A automated DNA sequencer (ABI, Inc.) yielded the following sequence data:

Analysis of the DNA sequence data at the nucleotide level reveals no significant similarity to data in the current release of the Genbank or EMBL databases. Analysis of the predicted ORFs contained within clone pMP76 reveals a high degree of similarity to two open reading frames identified in B. subtilis; “ipc29D” and “ipc31D” (EMBL entry Z38002). A partial restriction map of pMP76 is depicted in FIG. 42, along with an open box to indicate the percentage of the clone for which DNA sequence has been obtained. The relative orientation and predicted size of the “ipc29D” ORF is indicated by an arrow:

These two ORFs identified from the EMBL entry Z38002 were predicted from genomic sequence data and are denoted as “putative”; no characterization of expression or function of the predicted gene products has been reported in the literature. A similarity has been noted between the predicted Ipc31D-like polypeptide and the SUA5 gene product from yeast (S. cerevisiae), but functional characterization still remains to be performed. Hence, the ORFs contained within clone pMP76 represent putative polypeptides of uncertain function, but are known to be responsible for restoring a wild-type phenotype to NT42.

In addition to the illustrative sequences described above, the following sequences of clones complementing heat sensitive mutants of S. aureus similarly provide essential genes.

Mutant: NT3

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT3 is complemented by plasmid pMP27, which contains a 3.9 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. The partial restriction map of the insert is depicted in FIG. 21; open boxes along part of the length of the clone indicate the portions of the clone for which DNA sequence has been obtained (this contig is currently being completed). Database searches at both the nucleic acid and protein levels reveal strong similarity at both the peptide and nucleic acid level to the C-terminal fragment of the SecA protein from S. carnosus (EMBL Accession No. X79725) and from B. subtilis (Genbank Accession No. D10279). Since the complete SecA ORF is not contained within clone pMP27, SecA is unlikely to be the protein responsible for restoring mutant NT3 to a wild-type phenotype. Further strong peptide-level similarities exist between the DNA sequence of a Taq I subclone of pMP27 and the prfB gene, encoding Peptide Release Factor II, of B. subtilis (Genbank D10279; published in Pel et al., 1992, Nucl. Acids Res. 20:4423-4428). Cross complementation analysis (data not shown) suggests that a mutation in the prfB gene is most likely to be responsible for conferring a temperature-sensitive phenotype to mutant NT3 (i.e. it is an essential gene).

DNA sequence data: The following DNA sequence data represents the sequences at the left-most and right-most edges of clone pMP27, using standard M13 forward and M13 reverse sequencing primers, and then extending via primer walking strategies. The sequences below can be used to design PCR primers for the purpose of amplification from genomic DNA with subsequent DNA sequencing.

Mutant: NT5

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT5: is complemented by plasmid pMP628, which contains a 2.5 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. The partial restriction map of the insert is depicted in FIG. 22. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and protein levels reveal strong similarity between one of the ORFs contained within clone pMP628 and the zwf gene from a variety of species, which encodes the Glucose-6 -Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6 PD) protein (EC 1.1.1.49). The strongest similarity is demonstrated in the Genbank entry for G6PD (Accession No. M64446; published in Lee, W. T. et al. J. Biol.

Mutant: NT14

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT14 is complemented by plasmid pMP40, which contains a 2.3 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. The partial restriction map of the insert is depicted in FIG. 26 (no Eco RI, Hind III, Bam HI or Pst 1 sites are apparent); open boxes along part of the length of the clone indicate the percentage of the clone for which DNA sequence has been obtained. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and protein levels reveal identity to the Staph. aureus femB gene, encoding a protein involved in peptidoglycan crosslinking (Genbank Accession No. M23918; published in Berger-Baechi,B., et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 219, (1989) 263-269). The pMP40 clone contains the complete FemB ORF (denoted in relative length and direction by an arrow ) as well as 5′ and 3′ flanking DNA sequences, suggesting that it is capable to direct expression of the FemB protein; the relation of the femA gene is also depicted to demonstrate the extent of identity between the clone and the Genbank entry.

Mutant: NTl6

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT16 is complemented by plasmid pMP44, which contains a 2.2 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. The partial restriction map of the insert is depicted in FIG. 28. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and protein levels reveal significant similarity at the peptide level to an ORF (orf3) of unknown function in the serotype “A” capsulation locus of H. influenzae (Genbank Accession No. Z37516); similarity also exists at the protein level to the tagB gene of B. subtilis (Genbank Accession No. X15200), which is involved in teichoic acid biosynthesis. Based upon the peptide level similarities noted, it is possible that the ORF(s) contained within this clone are involved in some aspect of membrane biogenesis, and should make an excellent screening target for drug development. No significant similarities are observed at the nucleic acid level, strengthening the stance that clone pMP44 represents a novel gene target(s).

DNA sequence data: The following DNA sequence data represents the sequence generated by primer walking through clone pMP44, starting with standard M13 forward and M13 reverse sequencing primers. The sequence below can be used to design PCR primers for the purpose of amplification from genomic DNA with subsequent DNA sequencing.

Mutant: NT18

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT18 is complemented by pMP48, which contains a 4.7 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted in FIG. 30, along with open boxes to indicate the percentage of the clone for which DNA sequence has been obtained; the sequence contig will be completed shortly. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and peptide levels reveal a strong peptide-level similarity to the ureD gene product, encoding a putative regulatory protein with strong similarities to the phosphomannomutase and the phosphoglucomutase from E. coli.

The right-most sequence contig from the diagram below is responsible for complementing mutant NT102, described later; however, the full pMP48 clone described here is required for complementing mutant NT18. Based upon genomic organization and peptide-level similarities, it is highly likely that mutants NT18 and NT102 represent two different proteins in the same biochemical pathway.

DNA sequence data: The following DNA sequence data represents the sequence obtained from clone pMP48, starting with standard M13 forward and M13 reverse sequencing primers and applying primer walking strategies to augment the sequence contigs. The sequences below can be used to design PCR primers for the purpose of amplification from genomic DNA with subsequent DNA sequencing:

Mutant: NT23

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT23 is complemented by pMP55, which contains a 5.2 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted FIG. 32. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and peptide levels reveal limited similarity at the protein level only to S. aureus proteins FemA and FemB, suggesting that clone pMP55 contains a new Fem-like protein. Since the Fem proteins are involved in peptidoglycan formation, this new Fem-like protein is likely to make an attractive candidate for screening antibacterial agents. Since clone pMP55 does not map to the same location as the femAB locus (data not shown here), the protein is neither FemA nor FemB and represents a novel gene.

DNA sequence data: The following DNA sequence data represents the sequence of clone pMP55, starting with the standard M13 forward and M13 reverse sequencing primers and applying primer walking strategies to complete the sequence contig. The sequences below can be used to design PCR primers for the purpose of amplification from genomic DNA with subsequent DNA sequencing:

Sequence map: Mutant NT28 is complemented by pMP60, which contains a 4.7 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted FIG. 34, along with open boxes to indicate the percentage of the clone for which DNA sequence has been obtained. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and peptide levels reveal identity of clone pMP60 at both the nucleic acid and peptide levels to the polC gene, encoding DNA Polymerase III alpha subunit, from S. aureus (Genbank Accession No. Z48003; unpublished as of 1995). The relative size and orientation of the complete ORF encoding Pol III is depicted by an arrow in the map.

DNA sequence data: The following DNA sequence data was generated by using the standard sequencing primers SP6 and T7, and can be used to demonstrate identity between clone pMP60 and Genbank entry Z48003:

Mutant: NT29

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT29 is complemented by pMP62, which contains a 5.5 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted FIG. 35, along with open boxes to indicate the percentage of the clone for which DNA sequence has been obtained. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and peptide levels reveal identity between clone pMP62 and the gyrBA locus of S. aureus (Genbank Accession No. M86227; published in Margerrison, E. E., et al. J. Bacteriology, 174 (1992) 1596-1603), which encodes DNA gyrase (EC 5.99.1.3).

Mutant: NT36

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT36 is complemented by pMP109, which contains a 2.7 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted FIG. 39. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and peptide levels reveal identity at one end of the pMP109 clone to the plaC gene from S. aureus (Genbank Accession No. M63177 ), encoding a DNA-directed RNA polymerase (EC 2.7.7.6). Since clone pMP109 does not contain the entire plaC ORF, the complementation of mutant NT36 by clone pMP109 is not likely to be due to the presence of this gene. Further analysis of clone pMP109 reveals strong similarity at the peptide level to the dnaG gene of L. monocytogenes (Genbank Accession No. U13165; published in Lupski et al., 1994, Gene 151:161-166), encoding DNA primase (EC 2.7.7.-); these similarities also extend to the dnaG genes of L. lactis, B. subtilis, and E. coli. The relative size and location of the dnaG ORF within clone pMP109 is denoted by an arrow in the sequence map.

DNA sequence data: The following DNA sequence data represents the sequence of clone pMP109, starting with the standard M13 forward and M13 reverse sequencing primers and applying primer walking strategies to complete the sequence contig.

Mutant: NT41/64

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutants NT41 and NT64 are complemented by pMP98, which contains a 2.9 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted FIG. 41. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and peptide levels reveal identity at both the peptide and nucleic acid levels to the C-terminal fragment of the pcrA gene from S. aureus (Genbank Accession No. M63176; published in Iordanescu, S.M. et al. J. Bacteriol. 171 (1989) 4501-4503), encoding DNA helicase (EC 3.6.1.-). Since only a small portion of the C-terminal fragment of the helicase protein is contained within clone pMP98, the pcrA gene is unlikely to be responsible for restoring a wild-type phenotype to mutants NT41 and 64. Further analysis reveals strong peptide level similarity to the lig gene of E. coil (Genbank Accession No. M30255; published in Ishino, Y. et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 204 (1986) 1-7), encoding the protein DNA ligase (EC 6.5.1.2). The relative location and predicted size of the ORF encoding the putative S. aureus lig gene is depicted by an arrow in the sequence map.

Mutant: NT42

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT 42 is complemented by pMP76, which contains a 2.5 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted FIG. 42. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and peptide levels reveal strong similarity at the peptide level to ORFs of unknown function in B. subtilis (Genbank Accession No. Z38002; characterization of the Ipc29D polypeptide is unpublished as of 1995). Strong similarity is also noted to the SUAS protein from the yeast S. cerevisiae, which is described as being essential for normal growth (published in Na, J.G. et al. Genetics 131 (1992) 791-801).

A partial restriction map is depicted FIG. 46, along with open boxes to indicate the percentage of the clone for which DNA sequence has been obtained. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and peptide levels reveal strong similarity at the peptide level to papS, encoding poly-A polymerase (EC 2.7.7.19) from B. subtilis(Genbank Accession No. L38424; published in Bower, S. et al. J. Bacteriol. 9 (1995) 2572-2575). Also included in this clone is the gene homolog for birA, which encodes biotin [acetyl-CoA-carboxylase] ligase and functions as a biotin operon repressor protein.

Mutant: NT54

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT54 is complemented by pMP145, which contains a 3.1 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted FIG. 47, along with open boxes to indicate the percentage of the clone for which DNA sequence has been obtained. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and peptide levels reveal identity at the nucleic acid level and peptide level to the C-terminal portion of the pbp4 gene, encoding D,D-carboxy peptidase (EC 3.4.16.4) from S. aureus (Genbank Accession No. U29454; unpublished as of July, 1995). Since clone pMP146 does not contain the complete Pbp4 ORF, this gene is unlikely to be responsible for restoring mutant NT54 to a wild-type phenotype. Cross complementation with clone pMP91, which contains a 5.2 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA, reveals that only 800 additional base pairs downstream (3′to) the Pbp4 ORF are necessary for complementation (data not shown). DNA sequence of this region reveals strong similarity at the nucleic acid and peptide levels to the tagD gene, encoding glycerol-3-phosphate cytidylyl transferase (EC 2.7.7.39), from B. subtilis (Genbank Accession No. M57497; published in Mauel, C. et al., J. Gen. Microbiol. 137 (1991) 929-941). The tagD gene of B. subtilis has been reported to be an essential gene and is therefore likely to be a good candidate for screen development. The relative size and location of the TagD ORF with respect to clone pMP145 is depicted by an arrow in the restriction map.

DNA sequence data: The following DNA sequence data represents the sequence of the right-most portion of clone pMP145, starting with the standard M13 reverse sequencing primer and applying primer walking strategies to complete the sequence contig.

Mutant: NT57

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT57 is complemented by pMP94, which contains a 3.6 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted FIG. 49, along with open boxes to indicate the percentage of the clone for which DNA sequence has been obtained. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and peptide levels reveal significant similarity at the peptide level to the gap gene, encoding glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12), from a number of prokaryotes and eukaryotes (e.g. Genbank Accession No. M24493, for the corresponding gene from B. stearothermophilus; published in Branlandt, C. et al., 1989, Gene 75:145-155). From the opposite sequence contig, a strong peptide-level similarity is noted to the dnaB gene product, encoding an essential protein involved in the initiation of DNA replication, from B. subtilis (Genbank Accession No. M15183; published in Hoshino, T. et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84 (1987) 653-657). Also of significance is the similarity of a subclone sequence to an ORF of unknown function, conserved among prokaryotes including E. coli, M. leprae, C. acetobutylicum, H. influenzae and B. subtilis (e.g. “orf 168” from Genbank Accession No. D28752). The relative orientations and predicted sizes of the ORFs identified in this entry are denoted by arrows in the restriction map.

Mutant: NT68

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT68 is complemented by pMP163, which contains a 5.8 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted FIG. 50. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and peptide levels reveal strong peptide-level similarities to the dnaE gene, encoding DNA polymerase III alpha subunit (EC 2.7.7.7), from Gram-negative bacteria such as S. typhimurium (Genbank Accession No. M29701; published in Lancey, E.D., et al. J. Bacteriol. 171 (1989) 5581-5586). This mutant is distinct from NT28, described previously as having a mutation in the polC gene which also encodes. an alpha subunit of DNA polymerase III (found so far in Gram-positive bacteria). Although dnaE and polC putatively encode proteins of the same enzymatic function, in S. aureus these two genes are quite distinct and may or may not encode proteins of redundant function; since the DNA sequences of each are less than 65% identical, they are confirmed as being two distinct essential genes.

Mutant: NT78

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT78 is complemented by pMP115, which contains a 5.3 kb insert of S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted FIG. 51, along with open boxes to indicate the percentage of the clone for which DNA sequence has been obtained. Database searches at both the nucleic acid and peptide levels reveal no significant similarities between the sequences obtained at the left-most and right-most edges and any published sequences. The sequence generated from a Msp I subclone, however, matches at both the nucleic acid and peptide level to hsp60, encoding the GroEL protein from S. aureus (Genbank Accession No. D14711). The relative size and orientation of the GroEL ORF is depicted by an arrow; other proteins (i.e. GroES) are known to reside near the identified ORF and will be confirmed by further DNA sequencing.

DNA sequence data: The following DNA sequence data represents the sequence generated bye sequencing the left-most and rightmost edges of pMP115 and its subclone 78.3, starting with standard M13 forward and M13 reverse sequencing primers. The sequence below can be used to design PCR primers for the purpose of amplification from genomic DNA with subsequent DNA sequencing.

Mutant: NT160

Phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT160 is complemented by plasmid pMP423, which carries a 2.2 kb insert of wild-type S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted in FIG. 65. Database searches at the nucleic acid and (putative) polypeptide levels against currently available databases reveal identity to the Dlt locus of S. aureus (Genbank Accession No. D86240; unpublished). The pMP423 clone completely contains the genes dltC, encoding a putative D-Alanine carrier protein, and dltD, encoding a putative “extramembranal protein”. Further subcloning and recomplementation experiments already in progress will demonstrate whether one or both of the ORFs encode essential genes.

DNA sequence data: The following DNA sequence data represents the sequence generated by primer walking through clone pMP423, starting with standard M13 forward and M13 reverse sequencing primers and completing the sequence contig via primer walking strategies. The sequence below can be used to design PCR primers for the purpose of amplification from genomic DNA with subsequent DNA sequencing.

Mutant: NT 310 Phenotype: temperature sensitivity Sequence map: Mutant NT310 is complemented by plasmid pMP364, which carries a 2.4 kb insert of wild-type S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted in FIG. 70; there are no apparent restriction sites for EcoR I, BamH I, HinD III or Pst I. Database searches at the nucleic acid and (putative) polypeptide levels against currently available databases reveal strong similarities to the ddlA gene product from E. hirae, which encodes D-Ala-D- Ala ligase (EC 6.3.2.4); similarities are also noted to the functionally-similar proteins VanA and VanB from E. faecium and the VanC protein from E. gallinarum. The predicted relative size and orientation of the ddlA gene is depicted by an arrow in the restriction map.

DNA sequence data: The following DNA sequence data represents the sequence generated by primer walking through clone pMP364, starting with standard M13 forward and M13 reverse sequencing primers and completing the sequence contig via primer walking strategies.

Mutant: NT 312 Phenotype: temperature sensitivity Sequence map: Mutant NT312 is complemented by plasmid pMP266, which carries a 1.5 kb insert of wild-type S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted in FIG. 71; there are no apparent restriction sites for EcoR I, BamH I, HinD III or Pst I. Database searches at the nucleic acid and (putative) polypeptide levels against currently available databases reveal strong peptide-level similarities to mg442, a hypothetical ORF from M. genetalium, and limited similarities to G-proteins from human and rat clones; this probably indicates a functional domain of a new Staph. protein involved in GTP-binding. The ORF contained within clone pMP266 is novel and likely to be a good candidate for screen development.

DNA sequence data: The following DNA sequence data represents the sequence generated by primer walking through clone pMP266, starting with standard M13 forward and M13 reverse sequencing primers and completing the sequence contig via primer walking strategies. The sequence below can be used to design PCR primers for the purpose of amplification from genomic DNA with subsequent DNA sequencing.

Mutant NT 318 Phenotype: temperature sensitivity Sequence map: Mutant NT318 is complemented by plasmid pMP270which carries a 2.2 kb insert of wild-type S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted in FIG. 72; there are no apparent restriction sites for EcoR I, BamH I, HinD III, or Pst I. Database searches at the nucleic acid and (putative) polypeptide levels against currently available databases reveal strong similarities to the spoVC gene from B. subtilis, a gene identified as being important in sporulation, and the pth gene from E. coli, which encodes aminoacyl-tRNA hydrolase (EC 3.1.1 .29). It is highly likely that the spoVC and pth gene products are homologues and that the essential gene identified here is the Staph. equivalent. The predicted relative size and orientation of the spoVC gene is depicted by an arrow in the restriction map.

Mutant: NT 380 Phenotype: temperature sensitivity Sequence map: Mutant NT380 is complemented by plasmid pMP394, which carries a 1.3 kb insert of wild-type S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted in FIG. 81. Database searches at the nucleic acid and (putative) polypeptide levels against currently available databases reveal strong similarities to the cdsA gene product from E. coli (Genbank Accession No. M11330), which encodes phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.41); the cdsA gene product is involved in membrane biogenesis and is likely to be a good candidate for screen development. The predicted relative size and orientation of the cdsA gene is depicted by an arrow in the restriction map.

Mutant: NT401 phenotype: temperature sensitivity

Sequence map: Mutant NT401 is complemented by plasmid pMP476, which carries a 2.9 kb insert of wild-type S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted in FIG. 82. Database searches at the nucleic acid and (putative) polypeptide levels against currently available databases reveal sequence identity in the middle of the clone to pMP64, the complementing clone to NT31 (described previously). Since pMP64 does not cross complement NT401, and pMP476 contains additional DNA both upstream and downstream, the essential gene is likely to reside in the flanking DNA. The remaining DNA that completely contains an ORF is that coding for yqej, a hypothetical ORF from B. subtilis (Genbank Accession No. D84432)

DNA sequence data: The following DNA sequence data represents the sequence generated by primer walking through clone pMP476, starting with standard M13 forward and M13 reverse sequencing primers and completing the sequence contig via primer walking strategies.

Mutant: NT423 phenotype: temperature sensitivity Sequence map: : Mutant NT423 is complemented by plasmid pMP499, which carries a 2.0 kb insert of wild-type S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted in FIG. 83. Database searches at the nucleic acid and (putative) polypeptide levels against currently available databases reveal strong peptide-level similarities to yqhY, a hypothetical ORF identified from a genomic sequencing effort in B. subtilis (Genbank Accession No. D84432), and yqhZ, a hypothetical ORF from B. subtilis bearing similarity to the nusB gene product from E. coli (Genbank Accession No. M26839; published in Imamoto, F. et al. Adv. Biophys. 21 (1986) 175-192). Since the nusB gene product has been demonstrated to be involved in the regulation of transcription termination in E. coli , it is likely that either one or both of the putative genes identified in this sequence contig encode essential functions.

Mutant: NT435 phenotype: temperature sensitivity Sequence map: Mutant NT435 is complemented by plasmid pMP506, which carries a 3.2 kb insert of wild-type S. aureus genomic DNA. A partial restriction map is depicted in FIG. 85. Database searches at the nucleic acid and (putative) polypeptide levels against currently available databases reveal strong peptide-level similarity from the left-most contig (shown below) to the pdhA gene product, encoding the E1-alpha subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase, from B. subtilis . The right-most contig below demonstrates DNA sequence identity to the pdhC gene, encoding the E2 chain of dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.12), from S. aureus (Genbank Accession No. X58434). This Genbank entry also contains the pdhB gene upstream, encoding the E1-beta subunit of pyruvate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.4.1); since the pMP506 clone contains the region upstream of pdhC, it is predicted that the essential gene identified by mutant NT435 is pdhB. Further sequencing is currently underway to prove this assertion.

DNA sequence data: The following DNA sequence data represents the sequence generated from clone pMP506, starting with standard M13 forward and M13 reverse sequencing primers; the sequence contig will be completed via primer walking strategies.

II. Homologous Genes

As described above, the use of genes from other pathogenic bacterial strains and species which are homologous to the identified genes from Staphylococcus aureus is also provided. Such homologous genes not only have a high level of sequence similarity with the particular S. aureus genes, but also are functional equivalents. This means that the gene product has essentially the same biological activity. Therefore, the homologous genes are identifiable, for example, based on a combination of hybridization of all or a portion of one gene to its homologous counterpart, and the ability of the homologous gene to complement the, growth conditional mutant of S. aureus under non-permissive conditions. The ability of the homologous gene to hybridize with sequences from the S. aureus gene provides that homologous gene using generally accepted and used cloning techniques. The ability of the homologous gene to complement a defective S. aureus gene demonstrates that the genes are essentially equivalent genes found in different bacteria.

Specific examples of methods for identifying homologous genes are described in Van Dijl et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,246,838, issued Sep. 21, 1993. In addition to the direct hybridization methods for identifying and isolating homologous genes mentioned above, Van Dijl et al. describe the isolation of homologous genes by isolating clones of a host bacterial strain which contain random DNA fragments from a donor microorganism. In those clones a specific host gene has been inactivated (such as by linkage with a regulatable promoter), and inserted homologous genes are identified by the complementation of the inactivated gene function. Homologous genes identified in this way can then be sequenced.

If the function of the product of a specific host gene is known, homologous gene products can often be isolated (by assaying for the appropriate activity) and at least partially sequenced (e.g., N-terminal sequencing). The amino acid sequence so obtained can then be used to deduce the degenerate DNA base sequence, which can be used to synthesize a probe(s) for the homologous gene. A DNA library from another microorganism is then probed to identify a clone(s) containing a homologous gene, and the clone insert sequenced.

These and other methods for identifying homologous genes are well-known to those skilled in the art. Therefore, other persons can readily obtain such genes which are homologous to the genes corresponding to SEQ ID NO. 1-105.

III. Evaluation of Gene as Therapeutic Target

A. General Considerations

While the identification of a particular bacterial gene as an essential gene for growth in a rich medium characterizes that gene as an antibacterial target, it is useful to characterize the gene further in order to prioritize the targets. This process is useful since it allows further work to be focused on those targets with the greatest therapeutic potential. Thus, target genes are prioritized according to which are more likely to allow identification of antibacterial agents which are:

1. Highly inhibitory to the target in relevant pathogenic species;

2. Cause rapid loss of bacterial viability;

3. Not have frequently arising resistance mechanisms;

4. Have high selectivity for the bacterial target and little, or preferably no, effect on the related mammalian targets;

5. Have low non-specific toxicity to mammals; and

6. Have appropriate pharmacodynamic and physical properties for use as a drug.

Consequently, target genes are prioritized using a variety of methods, such as those described below.

B. Methods for Recognizing Good Targets

Essential genes can be characterized as either bactericidal or bacteriostatic. Earlier work with Salmonella mutants established that the bactericidal/bacteriostatic distinction was a characteristic of inhibition of the specific gene, rather than of a mutant allele, and could be characterized in vitro. (Schmid et al., 1989, Genetics 123:625-633.) Therefore, preferred targets (high priority) are those which are highly bactericidal when inhibited, causing cell death. A subset of the bactericidal essential genes can be identified as strongly bactericidal, resulting in rapid cell death when inhibited.

In S. typhimurium, inhibition of strongly bactericidal genes was shown to result in one of the following effects:

1. Cell lysis (such genes generally involved in cell wall biosynthesis);

2. Inhibition of protein synthesis;

3. DNA degradation; or

4. Entry into non-recoverable state involving cell cycle related genes.

In vivo switch

In addition to the prioritization of gene targets based on the observed in vitro phenotypes, further evaluation of a specific gene as a potential therapeutic target is performed based on the effects observed with loss of that gene function in vivo. One approach is the use of null mutants in which the mutant gene product is inactive at 37° C. In the case of essential genes for which temperature sensitive mutants were previously isolated, those mutant strains can be used in this evaluation if the gene product is essentially inactive at 37° C. If such a temperature sensitive mutant has not previously been isolated but a complementing clone of some growth conditional mutant is available, then the required null mutants can generally be isolated through the use of localized mutagenesis techniques (Hong and Ames, 1971, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 68:3158-3162). The evaluation then involves the comparison of the in vivo effects of the normal strain and the mutant strain. The comparison involves determinations of the relative growth in vivo, relative bactericidal phenotype in vivo and differences in response in various infection models.

In addition to gene target evaluations using null mutant experiments, related evaluations can be performed using “in vivo switch” methods. Such methods allow control of the expression of a gene in vivo, and so provide information on the effects of inhibiting the specific gene at various time points during the course of an infection in a model infection system. In effect, an in vivo switch provides a mimic of the administration of an inhibitor of a gene, even if such an inhibitor has not yet been identified.

Such in vivo switch methods can be carried out by using recombinant strains of a pathogenic bacterium, which carry a test gene transcriptionally linked with an artificially controllable promoter. One technique for doing this is to use the natural promoter for the test gene, and insert an operator site in a position so that transcription will be blocked if a repressor molecule is bound to the operator. Expression of the repressor molecule is then placed under artificial control by linking the gene for the repressor with a promoter which can be controlled by the addition of a small molecule. For example, a β-lactamase receptor/repressor/promoter system can be used to control expression of a lac repressor, which, in turn, will bind to a lac operator site inserted in the test gene. These DNA constructs are then inserted into bacteria in which the endogenous copy of the test gene has been inactivated, and those bacteria are used in various infection models. Therefore, for this system, the test gene will be expressed prior to administration of a β-lactam. However, when β-lactam with little or no intrinsic antibacterial activity (e.g., CBAP) is administered to an animal infected with the recombinant bacteria, the β-lactam induces production of lac repressor. The lac repressor molecule then binds to the lac operator, stopping (turning off) expression of the test gene.

The method can be extended by administering the β-lactam (or other appropriate controller molecule) at different times during the course of an infection, and/or according to different schedules of multiple dosing. Also, many different designs of in vivo switch may be used to provide control over the test gene. In general, however, such a method of target evaluation provides information such as:

1. a measure of the “cidalness” of the target gene following inhibition of that gene;

2. a benchmark against which to measure chemical inhibitors as they are identified, since the in vivo switch can mimic complete inhibition of the gene;

3. an estimate of the efficacy of inhibitor use at different time points in an infection process; and

4. an estimate of the efficacy of inhibitor use in various types of infections, in various in vivo environments.

Information of this nature is again useful for focusing on the gene targets which are likely to be the best therapeutic targets.

C. In vivo Evaluation of Microbial Virulence and Pathogenicity

Using gene target evaluation methods such as the null mutant and in vivo switch methods described above, the identified target genes are evaluated in an infection model system. (References herein to the use of animals or mammals should be understood to refer to particular infection models. Other infection systems may be used, such as cell-based systems as surrogates for whole organism models, or systems to evaluate possible antimicrobial targets of pathogens of organisms other than animals. (e.g., plants). The criteria for evaluation include the ability of the microbe to replicate, the ability to produce specific exoproducts involved in virulence of the organism, and the ability to cause symptoms of disease in the animals.

The infection models, e.g., animal infection models, are selected primarily on the basis of the ability of the model to mimic the natural pathogenic state of the pathogen in an organism to be treated and to distinguish the effects produced by activity or by loss of activity of a gene product (e.g., a switch in the expression state of the gene). Secondarily, the models are selected for efficiency, reproducibility, and cost containment. For mammal models, rodents, especially mice, rats, and rabbits, are generally the preferred species. Experimentalists have the greatest experience with these species. Manipulations are more convenient and the amount of materials which are required are relatively small due to the size of the rodents.

Each pathogenic microbe (e.g., bacterium) used in these methods will likely need to be examined using a variety of infection models in order to adequately understand the importance of the function of a particular target gene.

A number of animal models suitable for use with bacteria are described below. However, these models are only examples which are suitable for a variety of bacterial species; even for those bacterial species other models may be found to be superior, at least for some gene targets and possibly for all. In addition, modifications of these models, or perhaps completely different animal models are appropriate with certain bacteria.

Six animal models are currently used with bacteria to appreciate the effects of specific genes, and are briefly described below.

1. Mouse Soft Tissue Model

The mouse soft tissue infection model is a sensitive and effective method for measurement of bacterial proliferation. In these models (Vogelman et al., 1988, J. Infect. Dis. 157: 287-298) anesthetized mice are infected with the bacteria in the muscle of the hind thigh. The mice can be either chemically immune compromised (e.g., cytoxan treated at 125 mg/kg on days −4, −2, and 0) or immunocompetent. The dose of microbe necessary to cause an infection is variable and depends on the individual microbe, but commonly is on the order of 10⁵-10⁶ colony forming units per injection for bacteria. A variety of mouse strains are useful in this model although Swiss Webster and DBA2 lines are most commonly used. Once infected the animals are conscious and show no overt ill effects of the infections for approximately 12 hours. After that time virulent strains cause swelling of the thigh muscle, and the animals can become bacteremic within approximately 24 hours. This model most effectively measures proliferation of the microbe, and this proliferation is measured by sacrifice of the infected animal and counting colonies from homogenized thighs.

2. Diffusion Chamber Model

A second model useful for assessing the virulence of microbes is the diffusion chamber model (Malouin et al., 1990, Infect. Immun. 58: 1247-1253; Doy et al., 1980, J. Infect. Dis. 2: 39-51; Kelly et al., 1989, Infect. Immun. 57: 344-350. In this model rodents have a diffusion chamber surgically placed in the peritoneal cavity. The chamber consists of a polypropylene cylinder with semipermeable membranes covering the chamber ends. Diffusion of peritoneal fluid into and out of the chamber provides nutrients for the microbes. The progression of the “infection” can be followed by examining growth, the exoproduct production or RNA messages. The time experiments are done by sampling multiple chambers.

3. Endocarditis Model

For bacteria, an important animal model effective in assessing pathogenicity and virulence is the endocarditis model (J. Santoro and M. E. Levinson, 1978, Infect. Immun. 19: 915-918). A rat endocarditis model can be used to assess colonization, virulence and proliferation.

4. Osteomyelitis Model

A fourth model useful in the evaluation of pathogenesis is the osteomyelitis model (Spagnolo et al., 1993, Infect. Immun. 61: 5225-5230). Rabbits are used for these experiments. Anesthetized animals have a small segment of the tibia removed and microorganisms are microinjected into the wound. The excised bone segment is replaced and the progression of the disease is monitored. Clinical signs, particularly inflammation and swelling are monitored. Termination of the experiment allows histolic and pathologic examination of the infection site to complement the assessment procedure.

5. Murine Septic Arthritis Model

A fifth model relevant to the study of microbial pathogenesis is a murine septic arthritis model (Abdelnour et al., 1993, Infect. Immun. 61: 3879-3885). In this model mice are infected intravenously and pathogenic organisms are found to cause inflammation in distal limb joints. Monitoring of the inflammation and comparison of inflammation vs. inocula allows assessment of the virulence of related strains.

6. Bacterial Peritonitis Model

Finally, bacterial peritonitis offers rapid and predictive data on the virulence of strains (M. G. Bergeron, 1978, Scand. J. Infect. Dis. Suppl. 14: 189-206; S. D. Davis, 1975, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 8: 50-53). Peritonitis in rodents, preferably mice, can provide essential data on the importance of targets. The end point may be lethality or clinical signs can be monitored. Variation in infection dose in comparison to outcome allows evaluation of the virulence of individual strains.

A variety of other in vivo models are available and may be used when appropriate for specific pathogens or specific genes. For example, target organ recovery assays (Gordee et al., 1984, J. Antibiotics 37:1054-1065; Bannatyne et al., 1992, Infect. 20:168-170) may be useful for fungi and for bacterial pathogens which are not acutely virulent to animals. For additional information the book by Zak and Sande (EXPERIMENTAL MODELS IN ANTIMICROBIAL CHEMOTHERAPY, O. Zak and M. A. Sande (eds.), Academic Press, London (1986) is considered a standard.

It is also relevant to note that the species of animal used for an infection model, and the specific genetic make-up of that animal, may contribute to the effective evaluation of the effects of a particular gene. For example, immuno-incompetent animals may, in some instances, be preferable to immuno-competent animals. For example, the action of a competent immune system may, to some degree, mask the effects of altering the level of activity of the test gene product as compared to a similar infection in an immuno-incompetent animal. In addition, many opportunistic infections, in fact, occur in immuno-compromised patients, so modeling an infection in a similar immunological environment is appropriate.

In addition to these in vivo test systems, a variety of ex vivo models for assessing bacterial virulence may be employed (Falkow et al., 1992, Ann. Rev. Cell Biol. 8:333-363). These include, but are not limited to, assays which measure bacterial attachment to, and invasion of, tissue culture cell monolayers. With specific regard to S. aureus, it is well documented that this organism adheres to and invades cultured endothelial cell monolayers (Ogawa et al., 1985, Infect. Immun. 50: 218-224; Hamill et al., 1986, Infect. and Imm. 54:833-836) and that the cytotoxicity of ingested S. aureus is sensitive to the expression of known virulence factors (Vann and Proctor, 1988, Micro. Patho. 4:443-453). Such ex vivo models may afford more rapid and cost effective measurements of the efficacy of the experiments, and may be employed as preliminary analyses prior to testing in one or more of the animal models described above.

IV. Screening Methods for Antibacterial Agents

A. Use of Growth Conditional Mutant Strains

1. Hypersensitivity and TS Mutant Phenoprints

In addition to identifying new targets for drug discovery, the growth conditional mutants are useful for screening for inhibitors of the identified targets, even before the novel genes or biochemical targets are fully characterized. The methodology can be whole-cell based, is more sensitive than traditional screens searching for strict growth inhibitors, can be tuned to provide high target specificity, and can be structured so that more biological information on test compounds is available early for evaluation and relative prioritization of hits.

Certain of the screening methods are based on the hypersensitivity of growth conditional mutants. For example, conditionally lethal ts mutants having temperature sensitive essential gene functions are partially defective at a semi-permissive temperature. As the growth temperature is raised, the mutated gene causes a progressively crippled cellular function. It is the inherent phenotypic properties of such ts mutants that are exploited for inhibitor screening.

Each temperature sensitive mutant has secondary phenotypes arising from the genetic and physiological effects of the defective cellular component. The genetic defect causes a partially functional protein that is more readily inhibited by drugs than the wild type protein. This specific hypersensitivity can be exploited for screening purposes by establishing “genetic potentiation” screens. In such screens, compounds are sought that cause growth inhibition of a mutant strain, but not of wild type, or greater inhibition of the growth of a mutant train than of a wild type strain. Such compounds are often (or always) inhibitors of the wild type strain at higher concentrations.

Also, the primary genetic defect can cause far-reaching physiological changes in the mutant cells, even in semi-permissive conditions. Necessity for full function of biochemically related proteins upstream and downstream of the primary target may arise. Such effects cause hypersensitivity to agents that inhibit these related proteins, in addition to agents that inhibit the genetically defective cellular component. The effects of the physiological imbalance will occur through metabolic interrelationships that can be referred to as the “metabolic web”. Thus, in some cases, the initial genetic potentiation screen has the ability to identify inhibitors of either the primary target, or biochemically related essential gene targets.

With sufficient phenotypic sensors, a metabolic fingerprint of specific target inhibition can be established. Therefore, the mutant strains are evaluated to identify a diverse repertoire of phenotypes to provide this phenotypic fingerprint, or “phenoprint”. These evaluations include hypersensitivities to known toxic agents and inhibitors, carbon source utilization, and other markers designed to measure specific or general metabolic activities for establishing a mutant phenoprint that will aid in interpretation of inhibitor profiles.

2. Determination of Hypersusceptibility Profiles

As an illustration of the hypersusceptibility profiles for a group of bacterial ts mutant strains, the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of various drugs and toxic agents were determined for a set of Salmonella typhimurium temperature-sensitive essential gene mutants.

The MICs were measured by using a standard micro broth dilution technique following the recommendations of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (1994). Bacteria were first grown in Mueller-Hinton broth at 30° C., diluted to 10⁵ cfu/ml and used to inoculate 96-microwell plates containing two-fold dilutions of antibiotics in Mueller-Hinton broth. Plates were incubated for 20 h at a semi-permissive temperature (35° C.) and the MIC was determined as the lowest dilution of antibiotic preventing visible growth.

A two-fold difference in the susceptibility level of the mutant strain compared to that of the parental strain is within the limits of the experimental variation and thus a ≧4-fold decrease in MIC was considered as a significant hypersusceptibility.

EXAMPLE 1 Hypersensitivity of S. aureus secA Mutants

The secA mutant strain NT65 was found to be more sensitive to compound MC-201,250. The MIC of this compound on NT65 is 0.62 μg/ml and that on the wild type strain is 50 μg/ml. The inhibitory effect of MC-201,250 on secA mutants increased as screening temperatures increased. Other secA mutants, which may represent different alleles of the gene, are also hypersensitive to this compound by varying degrees, examples are shown in Table 1 below.

TABLE 1 Hypersensitivity of secA Alleles to MC201,250 Strain MIC (μg/ml) NT65  0.62 NT328 1.25 NT74  2.5 NT142 5 NT15  10 NT67  10 NT122 10 NT112 20 NT368 20 NT413 20 Wild type (WT) 50

Furthermore, introduction of the wild type secA allele into NT65 raised the MIC to the wild type level. These data suggest that the hypersensitivity results from the secA mutation in the mutants.

To further demonstrate that the hypersensitivity to MC-201,250 is due to the secA mutation that causes the temperature sensitivity, heat-resistant revertants, both spontaneous and UV-induced, were isolated from NT65 and tested for their responses to the compound. In a parallel experiment, MC-201250-resistant revertants were also isolated from NT65 and tested for their growth at nonpermissive temperatures. The results showed that revertants able to grow at 43° C. were all resistant to MC-201250 at the wild type level (MIC=50 μg/ml) and vice versa. Revertants able to grow at 39° C. but not at 43° C. showed intermediate resistance to MC-201,250 (MIC=1.25-2.5 μg/ml and vice versa The correlation between the heat-sensitivity and MC-201,250-sensitivity strongly suggests that the secA gene product may be the direct target for MC-201,250.

The benefits of using hypersensitive mutants for screening is apparent, as this inhibitor would have not been identified and its specificity on secA would have not been known if wild type cells rather than the mutants were used in whole cell screening at a compound concentration of 10 μg/ml or lower.

EXAMPLE 2 Hypersensitivity of S. typhimurium gyr Mutants

The specific hypersensitivity of temperature sensitive mutations in a known target to inhibitors of that target is shown in FIG. 1 with the susceptibility profile of three ts S. typhimurium mutant alleles of the gyrase subunit A (gyrA212, gyrA215 and gyrA216) grown at a semi-permissive temperature (35° C.). The graph shows the fold-increases in susceptibility to various characterized antibacterial agents compared to that observed with the wild-type parent strain. The data demonstrate the highly specific hypersusceptibility of these mutants to agents acting on DNA gyrase. Susceptibility to other classes of drug or toxic agents is not significantly different from the parent strain (within 2-fold).

In addition, different mutant alleles show unique hypersensitivity profiles to gyrase inhibitors. Coumermycin inhibits the B-subunit of the gyrase, while norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and nalidixic acid inhibit the A-subunit. One mutant shows hypersusceptibility to coumermycin (gyrA216), one to coumermycin and norfloxacin (gyrA215), and another to norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin (gyrA212). Note that a mutation in the gyrase subunit A (gyrA215) can cause hypersensitivity to B-subunit inhibitors and could be used to identify such compounds in a screen. In addition, some gyrA mutant strains show no hypersensitivity to known inhibitors; potentially, these strains could be used to identify novel classes of gyrase inhibitors. Overall these results show that a selection of mutated alleles may be useful to identify new classes of compounds that affect gyrase function including structural subunit-to-subunit interactions. Thus, use of the properties of the crippled gyrase mutants in a screen provides a great advantage over biochemical-based screens which assay a single specific function of the target protein in vitro.

EXAMPLE 3 Hypersensitivity Profiles of Salmonella ts Mutants

Demonstration of the generalized utility of hypersensitive screening with the conditional lethal mutants has been obtained (FIG. 2) by collecting hypersensitivity profiles from partly characterized Salmonella conditional ts mutants. The table shows the increased susceptibility of the mutant strains to various characterized antibacterial agents compared to the wild-type parent strain. A two-fold difference in the susceptibility level is within the limits of the experimental variation and thus a ≧4-fold difference is significant.

A variety of hypersusceptibility profiles is observed among the ts mutants. These profiles are distinct from one another, yet mutants with related defects share similar profiles. The parF mutants, which have mutations closely linked to the Salmonella topoisomerase IV gene, are hypersusceptible to gyrase subunit B inhibitors (black circle), although these mutants are also susceptible to drugs affecting DNA or protein metabolism. Similarly, specificity within the hypersusceptibility profiles of two out of four ts mutants (SE7583, SE7587, SE5119 and SE5045) having possible defects in the cell wall biosynthesis machinery are also observed (mutants dapA and murCEFG, black diamond). The latter mutants are also susceptible to other agents and share their hypersusceptibility profile with a mutant having a defect in the incorporation of radioactive thymidine (SE5091).

Thus, the hypersensitivity profiles actually represent recognizable interrelationships between cellular pathways, involving several types of interactions as illustrated in FIG. 3. The patterns created by these profiles become signatures for targets within the genetic/metabolic system being sensitized. This provides a powerful tool for characterizing targets, and ultimately for dereplication of screening hits. The hypersusceptibility profiles have been established for 120 Salmonella and 14 Staphylococcus aureus ts mutants with a selection of 37 known drugs or toxic agents

The growth conditional mutants are also used in gene sensor methodology, e.g., using carbon utilization profiles. Ts mutants fail to metabolize different carbon sources in semi-permissive growth conditions. The carbon sources not utilized by a specific mutant or group of mutants provide additional phenotypes associated with the crippled essential function. Moreover, some of these carbon source markers were also not used by the wild type strain exposed to sub-MIC concentrations of known drugs affecting the same specific cellular targets or pathways. For example, a sublethal concentration of cefamandole prevented the Salmonella wild type parent strain from metabolizing the same carbon source that was not used by either the dapA or the murCEFG mutant.

In combination, interrelationships within and between essential cellular pathways are manifested in hypersensitivity and biosensor profiles that together are employed for highly discriminatory recognition of targets and inhibitors. This information provides recognition of the target or pathway of compound action.

B. Screening Strategy and Prototypes

1. Strain Validation and Screening Conditions

Hypersensitive strains (not growth conditional) have been successfully used in the past for discovery of new drugs targeting specific cellular pathways. (Kamogashira and Takegata, 1988, J. Antibiotics 41:803-806; Mumata et al., 1986, J. Artibiotics 39:994-1000.) The specific hypersensitivities displayed by ts-conditional mutants indicates that use of these mutants in whole cell screening provides a rapid method to develop target-specific screens for the identification of novel compounds. However, it is beneficial to eliminate mutants that will not be useful in semi-permissive growth conditions. Such mutant alleles may have nearly wild type function at the screening assay temperature. The simplest method for validating the use of ts mutants is to select those which show a reduced growth rate at the semi-restrictive growth temperature. A reduced growth rate indicates that the essential gene function is partially defective. More specific methods of characterizing the partial defect of a mutant strain are available by biochemical or physiological assays.

2. Multi-Channel Screening Approach

The phenoprint results above, demonstrate that ts mutants show specific hypersusceptibility profiles in semi-permissive growth conditions. As a screening tool, the mutant inhibition profile characterizes the effects of test compounds on specific bacterial pathways. Because the mutants are more sensitive than wild type strains, compounds with weak inhibition activity can be identified.

An example of a multi-channel screen for inhibitors of essential genes is shown in FIG. 4. In this screen design, one plate serves to evaluate one compound. Each well provides a separate whole-mutant cell assay (i.e., there are many targets per screening plate). The assays are genetic potentiation in nature, that is, ts-hypersensitive mutants reveal compounds that are growth inhibitors at concentrations that do not inhibit the growth of the wildtype strain. The profile of mutant inhibition provides insight into the compound's target of inhibition. The ts mutants are grouped by their hypersensitivity profiles to known drugs or by their related defective genes. The figure illustrates the hypothetical growth inhibition results (indicated by “-”) that would be obtained with a new antibacterial agent targeting DNA/RNA metabolism.

Different multi-channel screen designs can fit specific needs or purposes. The choice of a broadly-designed screen (such as in FIG. 4), or one focused on specific cellular pathways, or even specific targets can be made by the appropriate choice of mutants. More specific screen plates would use mutants of a specific gene target like DNA gyrase, or mutants in a specific pathway, such as the cell division pathway.

The use of the 96-well multi-channel screen format allows up to 96 different assays to characterize a single compound. As shown in FIG. 5, this format provides an immediate characterization or profile of a single compound. The more traditional format, using up to 96 different compounds per plate, and a single assay can also be readily accommodated by the genetic potentiation assays.

In comparing the two formats, the multi-channel screen format is generally compound-focused: prioritization of compounds run through the screen will occur, as decisions are made about which compounds to screen first. Each plate provides an immediate profile of a compound. The more traditional format is target-focused: prioritization of targets will occur, as decisions are made about the order of targets or genetic potentiation screens to implement.

In a preferred strategy for screening large compound libraries, a “sub-library” approach is taken. In this approach, the compound library is divided into a number of blocks or “sub-libraries”. All of the selected ts mutants are screened against one block of the compounds. The screen is carried out in 96-well plates and each plate serves to test 80 compounds (one compound per well) on one mutant strain. After a block of compounds are screened, the mutant collection is moved on to test the next compound block.

The advantage of this strategy is that the effect of a compound on all the selected mutant strains can be obtained within a relatively short time. This provides compound-focused information for prioritization of compounds in follow-up studies. Since this strategy has only one mutant instead of many mutants on a plate, cross comtamination between different strains and the testing of different mutants at different temperatures (or with other changes in assay conditions) are no longer problems. Moreover, this strategy retains the same compound arrangement in all compound plates, thus saving time, effort and compounds as compared to screening one compound against many mutants on one plate, for compound focused analysis.

EXAMPLE 4 Prototype Screening Protocol

S. aureus bacterial cells from pre-prepared frozen stocks are diluted into Mueller-Hinton (MH) broth to an OD600 of about 0.01 and grown at 30° C. till OD600=0.5. Cells are diluted 1,000-fold into MH broth and 50 μl is added to each well of 96-well plates to which 40 μl of MH broth and 10 μl of test compound (varying concentrations) are added. No-compound wells with or without cells are included as controls. The total volume in each well is 100 μl. The plates are incubated at an appropriate screening temperature for 20 hr and OD600 are read. The effect of each compound on a mutant is measured against the growth control and % of inhibition is calculated. Wild type cells are screened at the same conditions. The % of inhibition of a compound on a mutant and that on the wild type cell are compared, and compounds that show higher inhibition on the mutant than on the wild type are identified.

3. Screening Method Refinement

Certain testing parameters for the genetic potentiation screening methods can significantly affect the identification of growth inhibitors, and thus can be manipulated to optimize screening efficiency and/or reliabilty. Notable among these factors are variable thermosensitivity of different ts mutants, increasing hypersensititivy with increasing temperature, and “apparent” increase in hypersensitivity with increasing compound concentration.

a. Variable Thermosensitivity

To use S. aureus ts mutants in genetic potentiation screening, the growth of these mutants at different temperatures were measured to determine screening temperatures for each of these mutants. The results showed that different ts mutants have quite different maximum growth temperatures (MGT). The MGTs of some mutants are as high as 39° C., while those of others are 37° C., 35° C., 32° C. or even 30° C. (FIG. 6). Furthermore, different mutants that have mutations in the same gene may have quite different MGTs, as illustrated in FIG. 7 for several polC mutants. Thus, different screening temperatures should be chosen for these mutants in order to accommodate the different growth preferences.

b. Raising Screening Temperature Makes ts Mutants More Sensitive to Certain Compounds

To demonstrate that the ts mutants are more sensitive to potential inhibitors at elevated temperature, the effect of different temperatures on the sensitivity of several ts mutants to a subset of compounds was examined. FIG. 8 shows the inhibitory effect of 30 compounds on mutant NT99 at 3 different temperatures, 32° C., 35° C., and 37° C. Most of these compounds showed increasing inhibitory effect as temperature increased from 32° to 35° C. then to 37° C. Consequently, more hits were identified at 37° C. (FIG. 9). In fact, all the hits identified at 32° C. and 35° C. were included in the 37° C. hits. On the other hand, little difference was observed when the compounds were tested on wild type cells at the same three different temperatures (data not shown).

The temperature effect as mentioned above can be used to control hit rates in the screening. Higher screening temperature can be used to produce more hits for mutants that have low hit rates. Similarly, if a mutant shows a very high hit rate, the number of hits can be reduced by using lower screening temperatures to facilitate hit prioritization.

c. Increasing Compound Concentrations Affect Apparent Hypersensitivity

The concentration of compounds used in the screening is an important parameter in determining the hit rates and the amount of follow-up studies. The concentration of 10 μg/ml has been used in piloting screening studies. To examine whether screening at lower concentrations can identify a similar set of hits, 41 compounds previously scored as hits were screened against their corresponding hypersensitive mutants at lower concentrations. Results in FIG. 10 showed that the number of compounds to which the target mutants were still hypersensitive (≧80 inhibition) decreased as the screening concentrations decreased. At 2 μg/ml, only 20 out of 41 hit compounds were able to be identified as hits that inhibit the mutants by ≧20%, and at 1 μg/ml only 11, or 27%, of the compounds still fell into this catagory. These data suggest that screening at concentrations <2 μg/ml may miss at least half of the hits that would be identified at 10 μg/ml. On the other hand, screening at concentrations higher than 10 μg/ml may result in large number of low quality hits and create too much work in hit confirmation and follow-up studies. At 10 μg/ml, a hit may appear as a growth inhibitor for both the mutant and wild type strains. This should not be a major problem since lower concentrations of the compound can be tested in the follow-up studies to differentiate its effect on the mutant and the wild type.

4. Evaluation of Uncharacterized Known Growth Inhibitors

In addition to testing known inhibitors of cellular pathways, uncharacterized growth inhibitors identified in other whole-cell screens were also evaluated using temperature sensitive mutants. These growth inhibitors had uncharacterized targets of action. These compounds were previously shown to cause some growth inhibition of the S. aureus strain 8325-4 at 5 mg/ml. The compounds were subsequently tested using a range of concentrations against a collection of S. aureus ts mutants (all derived from S. aureus 8325-4), to determine the MIC values, relative to wild type. FIG. 12 summarizes the data generated using 52 S. aureus ts mutants and 65 growth inhibitor compounds (47 compounds not shown). The table reports the fold-increase in susceptibility of the ts mutants compared with the wild-type parent strain; values within two-fold of wildtype have been left blank in the table for ease of identifying the significant hypersensitive values.

The effects of the 65 test compounds on the ts mutants were mostly selective: for most compounds, a limited number of mutants were hypersensitive. Approximately one-third of all compounds showed identical inhibition of mutant and wild type strains (i.e., no mutants were hypersensitive to these compounds). Two compounds in FIG. 12 showed strong inhibitory effects on about 50% of the mutants tested (compounds 00-2002 and 00-0167). Two additional compounds showed identical inhibition profiles (compounds 30-0014 and 20-0348, FIG. 12). A preliminary analysis of these profiles is provided below.

The genetic basis of the hypersensitivity has been substantiated by two criteria. First, one compound (10-0797) strongly inhibited two mutants (NT52 and NT69) that both affect the same gene. Secondly, complementation of the temperature sensitive phenotype of these mutants resulted in loss of hypersensitivity.

Furthermore, the two compounds that had identical inhibition profiles (30-0014 and 20-0348) have very similar structures (FIG. 11). Thus, the hypersensitivity profile provides a pattern that allows recognition of compounds with similar targets of action, even when the target may be poorly defined. The strong similarity in the structures of these compounds makes their common target of action likely. Based on the mutants that were inhibited (secA , dnaG, and 3 uncharacterized mutants) the target of action of these compounds is not yet defined.

It is preferable to perform a screen of the uncharacterized inhibitors against a larger number of ts mutants. This screen employs preset compound concentrations and obtains the mutant inhibition profile for each compound. Computing the difference in the relative growth of parent and mutant strains in the presence of compounds provides a compound profile similar to that obtained by the MIC determinations of the first screen above.

A wide range of test compounds can be screened. Test compounds that are inhibitory for the wild type parent strain at the pre-selected concentration in the first screening run are retested at a lower concentration to generate an inhibition profile. Data analysis from the screens described above showed that a significant growth reduction of mutant strains compared to the parent strain in the presence of the test compounds is a reasonable indicator of selective compound activity.

Further, compounds for testing can include compounds that show no growth inhibition of the wild type strain. The hypersensitivity of the mutant strains provides the ability to identify compounds that target an essential cellular function, but which lack sufficient potency to inhibit the growth of the wild type strain. Such compounds are modified using medicinal chemistry to produce analogs with increased potency.

The grid shown in FIG. 13 represents different mutant inhibition profiles anticipated from screening of growth inhibitors, where “x” denotes inhibition of a particular mutant by a particular compound at concentrations much lower than for wildtype.

This grid shows compounds that cause growth inhibition of more than one mutant (compounds A,C,D,E), compounds that inhibit just one mutant (compounds B,F) and one compound that inhibits no mutants (compound G). In addition, this profile identifies mutants inhibited by no compound (mutant 8), a single compound (mutants 1,6,7), and several compounds (mutants 2,3,4,5). In the preliminary screens described above, compounds were identified that fit some of these anticipated inhibition profiles (see FIG. 14).

In the preliminary screen, compounds that inhibit the growth of the wild type strain were diluted to a point where growth inhibition of wild type no longer occurred. In this situation, only mutants that are hypersensitive to a particular compound will fail to grow. Thus, even compounds considered “generally toxic” should show some specificity of action, when assayed with the hypersensitive mutant strains.

In the simplest interpretation, compounds that cause growth inhibition inhibit the function of one essential macromolecule. Some compounds may specifically inhibit more than one target macromolecule. However, since one of the targets will be most sensitive to inhibition, one target can be considered the primary target. Thus, a one-to-one correspondence between inhibitors and targets can be established. However, both the data, and less simplistic reasoning provide exceptions to the simple one-to-one relationship between targets and inhibitors. Further analysis and understanding of the complicating effects is necessary to make full use of the data. Some of the complicating effects are discussed below.

a. Compounds That Affect Many Mutants

Certain compounds, such as detergents that target membrane integrity, or DNA intercalators, will have “general”, rather than specific targets. These “general targets” are not the product of a single gene product, but rather are created by the action of many gene products. Thus, in analyzing hypersensitivity profiles, compounds that affect many mutants may indicate action on a “general target”. The profiles of known membrane active agents, and intercalators will provide information to recognize uncharacterized compounds with similar effects.

Compounds that cause growth inhibition of more than one mutant may also arise when the affected mutants are metabolically related. These mutants may affect the same gene, or the same biochemical pathway. For example, mutants defective in one of many cell wall biosynthetic steps may show hypersensitivity to compounds that inhibit any of these steps. Evidence for this type of effect was observed in the hypersensitivity patterns of known inhibitors (see FIG. 2). This concept can be broadened to include effects caused by the “metabolic web”, in which far-reaching consequences may arise through characterized and uncharacterized interrelationships between gene products and their functions.

Overall, the hit rate was high when we considered all compounds that were more active on mutants than on the parent strain. The histogram in FIG. 14 shows the hit rate for compounds that affected one, two, three, or more than three mutants in our prototype screen. The large number of compounds that affected more than three different mutants was at least partly explained by the greater potency of this group of compounds. FIG. 15 illustrates the potency of some of the hits found in the screen as evaluated bv the MIC obtained for the parent strain S. aureus 8325-4.

In the prototype screen, compounds affecting more than 3 mutants were generally more potent but some may also be considered broadly toxic. The columns identified by an asterisk in FIG. 15 represent 3 out of 4 compounds that were also shown to be inhibitors of Salmonella typhimurium in another whole cell screen. Consequently, only the most hypersusceptible strain of a group of mutants affected by the same compound should be considered as the primary target. However, the entire mutant inhibition profile of a specific compound is very useful and should be considered as its actual fingerprint in pattern recognition analysis.

b. Compounds That Affect Few (or no) Mutants

Since all compounds assayed in the preliminary screen inhibit the growth of the wild type strain to some degree (initial basis of pre-selection), such compounds indicate that the mutant population is not sufficiently rich to provide a strain with a corresponding hypersensitive target.

c. Mutants Affected by Many Compounds

Another complication of the simple one-to-one compound/target relationship will arise because of mutants that are inhibited by many different compounds. The relative number of compounds (% hits) that inhibited the growth of each mutant in the S. aureus pilot is shown in FIG. 16. Several mutants were affected by many compounds. Several distinct causes of this are apparent. First, some mutants may have defects in the membrane/barrier that cause hyperpermeability to many different compounds. Such mutants will have higher intracellular concentrations of many compounds, which will inhibit metabolically unrelated targets. Other mutants may have defects that have far-reaching consequences, because their gene products sit at critical points in the metabolic web. Still other mutants may have specific alleles that are highly crippled at the assay temperature. For these mutants, the metabolic web consequences are large because the specific allele has created a highly hypersensitive strain.

d. Mutants Affected by Few or no Compounds

For the mutants that were hypersusceptible to fewer compounds, it is possible that their mutations affect a limited metabolic web, that mutations provide a true specificity that was yet not revealed by any compound, or that these mutants have nearly full activity at the assay temperature. This analysis stresses the importance of strain validation as indicated above.

In interpreting these patterns, the number of mutants screened and the total number of targets are also important variables. These numbers provide a simple probabilistic estimate of the fraction of the compounds that should have a one-to-one correspondence with a mutant target in the sample that was screened.

6. Prioritization of Hits and Downstream Development

The early steps in a multi-channel genetic potentiation screen include the following:

Pre-selection of mutant strains for screening

Pre-selection of desired test compounds based on structural features, biological activity, etc. (optional)

Testing of the chosen compounds at a pre-determined concentration, preferably in the range 1-10 μg/ml.

Analysis of inhibitory profiles of compounds against the mutant population and selection of interesting hits

Confirmation of the selective inhibitory activity of the interesting hits against specific mutants

Secondary evaluation of prioritized hits.

Genetic potentiation assays provide a rapid method to implement a large number of screens for inhibitors of a large number of targets. This screening format will test the capacity of rapid high-throughput screening. The capability to screen large numbers of compounds should generate a large number of “hits” from this screening. Limitations in downstream development through medicinal chemistry, pharmacology and clinical development will necessitate the prioritization of the hits. When large numbers of hits are available, each with reasonable in vitro activity, prioritization of hits can proceed based on different criteria. Some of the criteria for hit characterization include:

chemical novelty

chemical complexity, modifiability

pharmacological profile

toxicity profile

target desirability, ubiquity, selectivity

Secondary tests will be required not only for the initial evaluation of hits, but also to support medicinal chemistry efforts. While the initial genetic potentiation tests will be sufficient to identify and confirm hits, selection of hits for further development will necessitate establishment of the specific target of action. Equipped with the gene clones, selection of resistant alleles provides early evidence for the specific target. Subsequent efforts to establish a biochemical assay for rapid, specific and sensitive tests of derivative compounds will be aided by the over-expression and purification of the target protein, sequence analysis of the ORF to provide early insight into novel target function, as well as a variety of physiological and biochemical tests comparing the mutant and wild type strain to confirm the novel target function, and aid in the establishment of biochemical assays for the targets.

7. Identification of Specific Inhibitors of Gene Having Unknown Function

In a piloting screening study, a number of compounds were identified as inhibitors for mutants with mutations located in open reading frames whose functions are not known. Some of the open reading frames have been previously identified in other bacteria while others show little homology to the current Genbank sequence collection. An example is mutant NT94, whose complementing clones contain an open reading frame that is homologous to a spoVB-like gene in B. subtilis. While the function of the gene is not clear in either B. subtilis or S. aureus, NT94 is hypersensitive to many compounds tested, as illustrated in Table 2 below.

TABLE 2 Hit Rates in Genetic Potentiation Screen Number of mutants n, on which cmpds Confirmed Hits active 39 mutants NT94 n = 1 or 2 Average hit 0.03% 1.06% rate Hit rate range 0-0.31% among mutants n => 3 Average hit 0.17% 1.39% rate Hit rate range 0-0.72% among mutants

In fact, NT94 had the highest hit rate among the 40 mutant strains tested. Among the NT94 hits, 4 compounds share similar chemical structures (FIGS. 19A-D) The MICs of these compounds on NT94 are 0.25-2 μg/ml, which are 16-256 fold lower than those on the wild type cells (32-64 μg/ml). The similarity in the compound structures suggests a common and specific mechanism of the inhibitory effect on NT94.

Furthermore, the hypersensitivity to these compounds can be abolished by introducing 2 or more copies of the wild type gene into NT94. A correlation between the copy number of the wild type gene and the tolerance to the compounds has been observed. Cells with 2 copies of the wild type gene are slightly more resistant (2-fold increase in MIC) to MC-207,301 and MC-207,330 than the wild type cells which has one gene copy; cells carrying complementing plasmids (about 20-50 copies per cell) are much more resistant (8-16 fold increase in MIC). Such a gene dosage effect further suggests that either the gene product itself or its closely related functions of the open reading frame affected in NT94 is the target of the hit compounds.

8. Multi-Channel Screen Advantages

As depicted by the S. aureus example shown above, multi-channel screen design rapidly leads to the identification of hits and provide some of the necessary specificity information to prioritize compounds for further evaluation. FIG. 17 illustrates the advantages of a genetic potentiation approach as the basis of a screen design.

Overall, an approach using whole-cell genetic potentiation of ts mutants includes the selectivity of the biochemical screens (it is target-specific, or at least pathway-specific) and it is more sensitive than traditional screens looking for growth inhibitors due to the hypersensitive nature of the mutants. This genetic potentiation approach also provides a rapid gene-to-screen technology and identifies hits even before the genes or biochemical targets are fully characterized.

9. Alternatives to Ts Hypersensitivity Screening

There are a number of additional strategies that can be undertaken to devise target-based whole cell screens, as well as binding-or biochemical type screens. In order to implement these strategies, knowledge of the existence of the gene, the DNA sequence of the gene, the hypersensitivity phenotype profile, and the conditional mutant alleles will provide significant information and reagents. Alternative strategies are based on:

over- and under-expression of the target gene

dominant mutant alleles

hypersensitive mutant alleles

a. Over- and Under-Expression of Target Genes

There are numerous examples of over-expression phenotypes that range from those caused by 2-fold increases in gene dosage (Anderson and Roth, 1977, Ann. Rev. Microbiol. 31:473-505; Stark and Wahl, 1984, Ann. Rev. Biochem. 53:447-491) to multi-fold increases in dosage which can be either chromosomal-encoded (Normark et al., 1977, J. Bacteriol. 132:912-922), or plasmid-encoded (Tokunaga et al., 1983, J. Biol. Chem. 258:12102-12105). The phenotypes observed can be analog resistance (positive selection for multiple copies, negative selection for inhibition phenotype) or growth defects (negative selection for multiple copies, but positive selection for inhibition phenotype).

Over-expression can be achieved most readily by artificial promoter control. Such screens can be undertaken in E. coli where the breadth of controllable promoters is high. However, this method loses the advantage gained by whole cell screening, that of assurance that the compound enters the pathogen of interest. Establishing controllable promoters in S. aureus will provide a tool for screening not only in S. aureus but most likely in other Gram-positive organisms. An example of such a controllable promoter is shown by controlled expression of the agr P3 promoter in the in vivo switch construction.

b. Dominant Alleles

Dominant alleles can provide a rich source of screening capabilities. Dominant alleles in essential genes will prevent growth unless conditions are established in which the alleles are non-functional or non-expressed. Methods for controlled expression (primarily transcriptional control) will provide the opportunity to identify dominant mutant alleles that prevent cell growth under conditions of gene product expression.

Equally useful will be mutant alleles that are dominant, but conditionally functional. A single mutation may provide both the dominant and conditional-growth phenotype. However, utilizing the existing collection of temperature sensitive alleles, mutagenesis with subsequent selection for a dominant allele may provide more mutational opportunities for obtaining the necessary dominant conditional alleles. There is precedent for such additive effects of mutations on the protein phenotype (T. Alber, 1989, Ann. rev. Biochem. 58:765-798) as well as evidence to suggest that heat-sensitive mutations, which generally affect internal residues (Hecht et al., 1983, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 80:2676-2680), will occur at different locations in the protein different than dominant mutations, one type of which will affect protein-protein interactions, which are more likely on the protein surface.

The use of dominant conditional double mutants may have an additional advantage, since the hypersensitivity phenotypes may remain the same in the double mutant as in the single conditional mutant allele. In this case, a merodiploid carrying two copies of the target gene—one wild type, and one carrying the dominant conditional doubly mutant gene—would provide a sophisticated screening strain (see FIG. 18). The screen would rely on the hypersensitivity of the dominant protein to inhibitor compounds. Under conditions of the dominant protein's function, cells will not grow, while inhibition of the dominant protein will allow cell growth. The temperature sensitive allele provides a basis for hypersensitivity of the dominant protein, relative to the wild type protein.

c. Hypersensitive Mutant Alleles

Additional mutants that display more pronounced hypersensitivities than the original conditional lethal mutants can be sought. Selection or screening procedures are based on the initial secondary phenotype profiles. These new highly hypersensitive alleles need not have a conditional growth defect other than that observed in the presence of the toxic agent or inhibitor. Such highly hypersensitive alleles provide strong target specificity, and high sensitivity to weak inhibitors. Such hypersensitive alleles can readily be adapted for screens with natural products, and with synthetic or combinatorial libraries of compounds in traditional screen formats.

d. Compound Binding and Molecular Based Assays and Screens

As indicated above, knowledge and possession of a sequence encoding an essential gene also provides knowledge and possession of the encoded product. The sequence of the gene product is provided due to the known genetic code. In addition, possession of a hucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide provides the polypeptide, since the polypeptide can be readily produced by routine methods by expressing the corresponding coding sequence in any of a variety of expression systems suitable for expressing procaryotic genes, and isolating the resulting product. The identity of the isolated polypeptide can be confirmed by routine amino acid sequencing methods.

Alternatively, once the identity of a polypeptide is known, and an assay for the presence of the polypeptide is determined, the polypeptide can generally be isolated from natural sources, without the necessity for a recombinant coding sequence. Such assays include those based on antibody binding, enzymatic activity, and competitive binding of substrate analogs or other compounds. Consequently, this invention provides purified, enriched, or isolated products of the identified essential genes, which may be produced from recombinant coding sequences or by purification from cells naturally expressing the gene.

For use of binding assays in screening for compounds active on a specific polypeptide, it is generally preferred that the binding be at a substrate binding site, or at a binding site for an allosteric modulator, or at another site which alters the relevant biological activity of the molecule. However, simple detection of binding is often useful as a preliminary indicator of an active compound; the initial indication should then be confirmed by other verification methods.

Binding assays can be provided in a variety of different formats. These can include, for example, formats which involve direct determination of the amount of bound molecule, either while bound or after release; formats involving indirect detection of binding, such as by determination of a change in a relevant activity, and formats which involve competitive binding. In addition, one or more components of the assay may be immobilized to a support, though in other assays, the assays are performed in solution. Further, often binding assays can be performed using only a portion of a polypeptide which includes the relevant binding site. Such fragments can be constructed, for example, by expressing a gene fragment which includes the sequence coding for a particular polypeptide fragment and isolating the polypeptide fragment, though other methods known to those skilled in the art can also be used. Thus, essential genes identified herein provide polypeptides which can be utilized in such binding assays. Those skilled in the art can readily determine the suitable polypeptides, appropriate binding conditions, and appropriate detection methods.

Provision of a purified, enriched, or isolated polypeptide product of an essential gene can also allow use of a molecular based (i.e., biochemical) method for screening or for assays of the amount of the polypeptide or activity present in a sample. Once the biological activities of such a polypeptide are identified, one or more of those activities can form the basis of an assay for the presence of active molecules of that polypeptide. Such assays can be used in a variety of ways, for example, in screens to identify compounds which alter the level of activity of the polypeptide, in assays to evaluate the sensitivity of the polypeptide to a particular compound, and in assays to quantify the concentration of the polypeptide in a sample.

10. Antibacterial Compounds Identified by Hypersensitive Mutant Screening

Using the genetic potentiation screening methods described above, a number of compounds have been identified which inhibit growth of S. aureus cell. These compounds were identified as having activity on the NT94 mutant described above, and so illustrate the effectiveness of the claimed screening methods. These results further illustrate that the genes identified by the temperature sensitive mutants are effective targets for antibacterial agents. The identified compounds have related structures, as shown in FIGS. 19A-D

These compounds can be generally described by the structure shown below:

in which

R, R¹, R², and R³ are independently H, alkyl (C₁-C₆), or halogen;

R⁴ is H, alkyl (C₁-C₅), halogen, SH, or S-alkyl (C₁-C₃);

R⁵ is H, alkyl (C¹-C⁵), or aryl (C₆-C₁₀);

R⁶ is CH2NH2, alkyl (C1-C4), 2-pyridyl, 3-pyridyl, 4-pyridyl, 2-furyl, 3-furyl, 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, or aryl (C₆-C₁₀);

or

R⁵ and R⁶ together are —C(R⁷)═C(R⁸)—C(R⁹)═C(R¹⁰)—, —N═C(R⁸)—C(R⁹)═C(R¹⁰)—, —C(R⁷)═N—C(R⁹)═C(R¹⁰)—, —C(R⁷)═C(R⁸)—N═C(R¹⁰)—, or —C(R⁷)═C(R⁸)—C(R⁹)═N—;

in which

R⁷, R⁸, R⁹, and R¹⁰ are independently H, alkyl (C₁-C₅), halogen, fluoroalkyl (C₁-C₅);

or

R⁷ and R⁸ together are —CH═CH—CH═CH—.

Thus, the invention includes antibacterial compositions containing the described compounds, and the use of such compositions in methods for inhibiting the growth of bacteria and methods for treating a bacterial infection in an animal.

V. Description of Compound Screening Sources and Sub-Structure Search Method

The methods of this invention are suitable and useful for screening a variety of sources for possible activity as inhibitors. For example, compound libraries can be screened, such as natural product libraries, combinatorial libraries, or other small molecule libraries. In addition, compounds from commercial sources can be tested, this testing is particularly appropriate for commercially available analogs of identified inhibitors of particular bacterial genes.

Compounds with identified structures from commercial sources can be efficiently screened for activity against a particular target by first restricting the compounds to be screened to those with preferred structural characteristics. As an example, compounds with structural characteristics causing high gross toxicity can be excluded. Similarly, once a number of inhibitors of a specific target have been found, a sub-library may be generated consisting of compounds which have structural features in common with the identified inhibitors. In order to expedite this effort, the ISIS computer program (MDL Information Systems, Inc.) is suitable to perform a 2D-substructure search of the Available Chemicals Directory database (MDL Information Systems, Inc.). This database contains structural and ordering information on approximately 175,000 commercially available chemical compounds. Other publicly accessible chemical databases may similarly be used.

VI. In Vivo Modeling: Gross Toxicity

Gross acute toxicity of an identified inhibitor of a specific gene target may be assessed in a mouse model. The inhibitor is administered at a range of doses, including high doses, (typically 0-100 mg/kg, but preferably to at least 100 times the expected therapeutic dose) subcutaneously or orally, as appropriate, to healthy mice. The mice are observed for 3-10 days. In the same way, a combination of such an inhibitor with any additional therapeutic components is tested for possible acute toxicity.

VII. Pharmaceutical Compositions and Modes of Administration

The particular compound that is an antibacterial agent can be administered to a patient either by itself, or in combination with another antibacterial agent, or in pharmaceutical compositions where it is mixed with suitable carriers or excipient(s). A combination of an inhibitor of a particular gene with another antibacterial agent can be of at least two different types. In one, a quantity of an inhibitor is combined with a quantity of the other antibacterial agent in a mixture, e.g., in a solution or powder mixture. In such mixtures, the relative quantities of the inhibitor and the other antibacterial agent may be varied as appropriate for the specific combination and expected treatment. In a second type of combination an inhibitor and another antibacterial agent can be covalently linked in such manner that the linked molecule can be cleaved within the cell. However, the term “in combination” can also refer to other possibilities, including serial administration of an inhibitor and another antibacterial agent. In addition, an inhibitor and/or another antibacterial agent may be administered in pro-drug forms, i.e. the compound is administered in a form which is modified within the cell to produce the functional form. In treating a patient exhibiting a disorder of interest, a therapeutically effective amount of an agent or agents such as these is administered. A therapeutically effective dose refers to that amount of the compound(s) that results in amelioration of symptoms or a prolongation of survival in a patient, and may include elimination of a microbial infection.

Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such compounds can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., for determining the LD₅₀ (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED₅₀ (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and it can be expressed as the ratio LD₅₀/ED₅₀. Compounds which exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred. The data obtained from these cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in human. The dosage of such compounds lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED₅₀ with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. It is preferable that the therapeutic serum concentration of an efflux pump inhibitor should be in the range of 0.1-100 μg/ml.

For any compound used in the method of the invention, the therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially from cell culture assays. For example, a dose can be formulated in animal models to achieve a circulating plasma concentration range that includes the IC₅₀ as determined in cell culture Such information can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans. Levels in plasma may be measured, for example, by HPLC.

The exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be chosen by the individual physician in view of the patient's condition. (See, e.g., Fingl et al., in THE PHARMACOLOGICAL BASIS OF THERAPEUTICS, 1975, Ch. 1 p. 1). It should be noted that the attending physician would know how to and when to terminate, interrupt, or adjust administration due to toxicity, or to organ dysfunctions. Conversely, the attending physician would also know to adjust treatment to higher levels if the clinical response were not adequate (precluding toxicity). The severity of the condition may, for example, be evaluated, in part, by standard prognostic evaluation methods. Further, the dose and perhaps dose frequency, will also vary according to the age, body weight, and response of the individual patient. A program comparable to that discussed above may be used in veterinary medicine.

Depending on the specific infection being treated, such agents may be formulated and administered systemically or locally. Techniques for formulation and administration may be found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. (1990). Suitable routes may include oral, rectal, transdermal, vaginal, transmucosal, or intestinal administration; parenteral delivery, including intramuscular, subcutaneous, intramedullary injections, as well as intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intranasal, or intraocular injections, just to name a few.

For injection, the agents of the invention may be formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hanks's solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. For such transmucosal administration, penetrants appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrants are generally known in the art.

Use of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers to formulate the compounds herein disclosed for the practice of the invention into dosages suitable for systemic administration is within the scope of the invention. With proper choice of carrier and suitable manufacturing practice, the compositions of the present invention, in particular, those formulated as solutions, may be administered parenterally, such as by intravenous injection. The compounds can be formulated readily using pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art, into dosages suitable for oral administration. Such carriers enable the compounds of the invention to be formulated as tablets, pills, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspensions and the like, for oral ingestion by a patient to be treated.

Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for use in the present invention include compositions wherein the active ingredients are contained in an effective amount to achieve its intended purpose. Determination of the effective amounts is well within the capability of those skilled in the art, especially in light of the detailed disclosure provided herein. In addition to the active ingredients, these pharmaceutical compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers including excipients and auxiliaries which facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations which can be used pharmaceutically. The preparations formulated for oral administration may be in the form of tablets, dragees, capsules, or solutions. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be manufactured in a manner that is itself known, e.g., by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levitating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or lyophilizing processes.

Pharmaceutical formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous solutions of the active compounds in water-soluble form. Additionally, suspensions of the active compounds may be prepared as appropriate oily injection suspensions. Suitable lipophilic solvents or vehicles include fatty oils such as sesame oil, or synthetic fatty acid esters, such as ethyl oleate or triglycerides, or liposomes. Aqueous injection suspensions may contain substances which increase the viscosity of the suspension, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sorbitol, or dextran. Optionally, the suspension may also contain suitable stabilizers or agents which increase the solubility of the compounds to allow for the preparation of highly concentrated solutions.

Pharmaceutical preparations for oral use can be obtained by combining the active compounds with solid excipient, optionally grinding a resulting mixture, and processing the mixture of granules, after adding suitable auxiliaries, if desired, to obtain tablets or dragee cores. Suitable excipients are, in particular, fillers such as sugars, including lactose, sucrose, mannitol, or sorbitol; cellulose preparations such as, for example, maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). If desired, disintegrating agents may be added, such as the cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, agar, or alginic acid or a salt thereof such as sodium alginate.

Dragee cores are provided with suitable coatings. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions may be used, which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, and/or titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures. Dyestuffs or pigments may be added to the tablets or dragee coatings for identification or to characterize different combinations of active compound doses.

Pharmaceutical preparations which can be used orally include push-fit capsules made of gelatin, as well as soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer, such as glycerol or sorbitol. The push-fit capsules can contain the active ingredients in admixture with filler such as lactose, binders such as starches, and/or lubricants such as talc or magnesium stearate and, optionally, stabilizers. In soft capsules, the active compounds may be dissolved or suspended in suitable liquids, such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycols. In addition, stabilizers may be added.

VIII. Use of Gene Sequences as Probes and Primers

In addition to the use of the growth conditional mutant strains as described above, DNA sequences derived from the identified genes are also useful as probes to identify the presence of bacteria having the particular gene or, under suitable conditions, a homologous gene. Similarly, such probes are useful as reagents to identify DNA chains which contain a sequence corresponding to the probe, such as for identifying clones having a recombinant DNA insert (such as in a plasmid). For identifying the presence of a particular DNA sequence or bacterium having that sequence it is preferable that a probe is used which will uniquely hybridize with that sequence. This can be accomplished, for example, by selecting probe sequences from variable regions, using hybridization conditions of suitably high stringency, and using a sufficiently long probe (but still short enough for convenient preparation and manipulation. Preferably, such probes are greater than 10 nucleotides in length, and more preferably greater than 15 nucleotides in length. In some cases, it is preferable that a probe be greater than 25 nucleotides in length. Those skilled in the art understand how to select the length and sequence of such probes to achieve specific hybridization. In addition, probes based on the specific genes and sequences identified herein can be used to identify the presence of homologous sequences (from homologous genes). For such purposes it is preferable to select probe sequences from portions of the gene which are not highly variable between homologous genes. In addition, the stringency of the hybridization conditions can be reduced to allow a low level of base mismatch.

As mentioned above, similar sequences are also useful as primers for PCR. Such primers are useful as reagents to amplify the number of copies of one of the identified genes or of a homologous gene. As with probes, it is preferable that the primers specifically hybridize with the corresponding sequence associated with one of the genes corresponding to SEQ ID NO. 1-105. Those skilled in the art understand how to select and utilize such primers.

The embodiments herein described are not meant to be limiting to the invention. Those of skill in the art will appreciate the invention may be practiced by using any of the specified genes or homologous genes, for uses and by methods other than those specifically discussed, all within the breadth of the claims
